This striking large porcelain vase features a classic double gourd silhouette finished in a rich oxblood red glaze, inspired by traditional Chinese ceramic forms. The glossy, saturated glaze pools naturally across the curves of the vessel, creating depth and tonal variation that shifts beautifully with the light.
The double gourd shape has long been associated with harmony, abundance, and balance in Chinese decorative arts. Standing 16.5 inches tall, this vase makes an impactful statement on its own — ideal for floor styling, oversized branches, or as a sculptural accent in an entryway, living space, or dining room.
The interior is fully glazed, and the base is unmarked, with felt pads added for surface protection. While the exact maker is unknown, the form and glaze are consistent with mid-20th century Chinese export porcelain in the Jingdezhen style.
