A rare pair of older Chinese Famille Noire ceramic planters. These magnificent hand painted planters have an encompassing hand painted scenario around the body in vibrant & colourful raised enamel work.
A pair of exotic Phoenix birds dominate amongst chrysanthemums and peonies on one side with long tails that wrap around the back of the body of the planter to the back with two small white birds fluttering around. The trees are traditional Chinese style, as are the rocks and landscape.
Five expressionable orange goldfish swim amongst the green pond weed & lily pads inside the planters. The jardinières sit upon solid rosewood stands, the legs of elegant cabriole form, shaped as abstract dragons. The circular stretcher forms a stable platform. Slightly concave unmarked bases.
First Quarter 20th. Century.  Possibly Late Qing.
A superb pair of planters obtained from a high end estate collection here in Florida - an individual widely travelled in the Orient.
