These two vases are decorated in such a beautiful chinoiserie design of oriental figures, carnations and prunus trees, all on a stippled black background. The rim is simply gilded but it sets off the design perfectly. They date from around the 1920s and the body shape used is the same as a Bisto Aztec ware vase that is in my collection. Maddenly, i have no info about how much these beauties sold for at auction as i am not registered to Artnet. To a collector like me, or even just for their decorative appeal, i would estimate them at £80-120, perhaps more on a good day. They are just so glamourous and stunning. Drool.
