Vintage Mid-Century Chinese square-form vase or lamp base. Painted in rich, colorful enamels depicting scenes on each of the 4 flat sides. The scenes alternate between a bird perched amongst flowering branches and a grouping of precious objects. The piece is finished off with lovely geometric and floral border designs trypical of the Nyonya style.
Would look very nice with a silk flower arrangement or can be used as a lamp base. Marked on the underside with a partial Tongzhi dynasty mark stamped in red. Age: Mid-century. Condition is excellent. Drilled for lamp.
