Rare Qing Dynasty Blue White Hexagonal Vase Bird Plum Blossom 1700s China
An exquisite antique Chinese blue and white porcelain vase, finely hand-painted in rich cobalt underglaze with a detailed bird-and-flower scene. The artwork depicts birds perched among flowering plum branches, rocks, and peonies — traditional symbols of beauty, peace, and resilience.
The vase features a rare hexagonal form with elegant proportions and a traditional metal-bound rim, a hallmark of historical repair used to preserve valued pieces during the Qing Dynasty.
Executed in deep blue tones typical of Kangxi to early Qianlong period (circa 1700-1750) craftsmanship from the Jingdezhen kilns. The underside displays natural kiln grit and firing marks consistent with genuine 18th-century porcelain.
Excellent antique condition with age-appropriate wear.
Traditional metal rim restorations visible at top (see photos).
Minor firing imperfections and glaze variations consistent with 18th-century porcelain.
No structural cracks or repairs to body.
