Featured Thoughts on vase

I picked this up for ridiculously little money over the weekend. Came out of a fine estate with some really nice & expensive older things. Some very high end Asian and European antiques. I found a beautiful oxblood vase that was unfortunately badly damaged and then repaired on the rim. I recognized the mark as a high end European maker but couldn’t think of which one at that moment. I asked how much and was told the price was free! Only because I had bought some expensive things already I’m sure. Got it home to realize it was KPM. Real KPM, not a bad imitation. I’m considering having it cut down. I have no idea how much something like that costs in this day and age. I’m sure it is expensive but it may actually be worth it in this case. This white vase though is really striking in person. The incised decoration is lovely. It’s unmarked. The form and the way the rims are trimmed has me thinking Asian but I’m not totally confident about that. I did find some Chinese vases that had been lamped that resemble this form quite a bit. Could it be Dehua? I’d like to hear some opinions. It’s pretty large at 14” tall. Knowing what type of flower it is could be helpful. The prevalent stamen may be a giveaway. It’s not an area I’m great in. They don’t strike me the usual Asian contenders but maybe I’m wrong.

 

Cherry blossom or at a pinch, apple.

 

May be a Japanese quince

 

the bottom unglazed foot rim makes me think Chinese like blanc-de-chine and possibly peony motif

 

Not peony, the leaves are totally wrong, as is that twisted branch. Paeonies are held above a crown of large leaves on soft stalks.

I don’t think Chaenomeles either, I grow those. Again, wrong leaves and stems.

 

Lovely vase. At first I thought wild rose, but I think more a fruit tree flower like OBB said. Doesn't seem to be a particularly Asian base and foot rim, but I dunno. Good buy anyway!

 

The leaves look more like an apple or a peach than anything else, but the flowers aren't apple or peach blossoms. Flowering quince it is.

 

Nope, not quince/chaenomeles. Totally wrong stems and leaves.
