Antique Chinese Porcelain Vase Figural Scenes Double Handles Kangxi Style Mark
This is a beautifully hand-painted Chinese porcelain vase, decorated with traditional figural court scenes, landscape elements, and auspicious motifs. The form features a rounded body with tall neck and applied double handles, finished in a classic palette of iron-red, green, yellow, blue, and black enamels.
The base bears a red square seal mark in the Kangxi style, a mark commonly used on later Chinese porcelains to honor earlier Qing dynasty wares. While the mark references the Kangxi reign, the vase itself is believed to date to a later historic period, most likely late Qing to early Republic era (circa late 19th to early 20th century).
