Pair of 18th century Chinese export baluster porcelain vases. With bold stripes of pink, green, yellow, and black. Each with cartouches depicting figures in a garden, ribboned precious objects, and flowers.
Each, height: 18 1/2 in x diameter: 8 in.

Both vases show signs of minor wear. One vase has a crack along one of the main cartouches that extends horizontally to the right smaller cartouche. There is further evidence of repair under UV light in this area. The other vase has a small chip along the upper rim. Both lids have major repairs, visible under a direct light. There are minute white accretions throughout one of the vases, most visible along the black areas. There are a few areas along the painted stripes that appear to be touch-ups to the coloration; these do not appear to be restorations under UV light. General wear throughout consistent with age and use.
