Pair of Qing dynasty vases, Green Family. China, 19th century.Hand-painted porcelain.With calligraphic inscriptions on front and back.Measurements: 58 cm (height); 23 cm (largest diameter).Pair of ornamental vases made in porcelain, belonging to the style known as Familia Verde. They have mirror decoration representing ceremonial motifs. Each of the vases depicts a retinue of servants celebrating and accompanying an emperor. On the reverse are jardinières, vases and floral motifs. The bright colours used, mostly in greenish tones, are in the style of the Green Family. The fretwork arrangement of the handles deserves special attention.The term Green Family is the Western name for a style of Chinese polychrome porcelain derived from wucai (literally 'five colours'). Wucai was created during the Ming dynasty, and has been widely used in China ever since. It is characterised by only some of the motifs being executed in cobalt-blue underglaze, while the rest of the decoration is applied already on the glaze. In addition, black glaze is added for the outlines, in early times covered with a translucent green glaze to fix it. The Green Family style is a type of wucai called yingcai ("solid colours"), which is characterised by the predominance of copper oxide green. The name yingcai refers to the quality of the glazes, which are crystalline because they are mostly applied to the glaze.

Pair of Chinese vases. Qing dynasty, Kangxi period, 18th century.Hand-painted porcelain. Slight wear to the colour and some chipping at the base.Size: 26 x 11 x 11 cm.Pair of vases from the Kangxi period, with an elegant design, combining the angular base with the curvilinear shoulders. Floral growths decorate each side of the vase, between geometric and synthesised fretwork developing in vertical rows. The porcelain is hand-painted in two colours: cobalt blue on white. Gold lids provide the chromatic and formal counterpoint.The Kangxi Emperor was a great promoter and patron of the porcelain industry. It was during his reign that the ailing industry received a major revival. The artistic achievements made between the late 17th and early 18th centuries place these pieces among the finest in history. Wucai or Wu tsai porcelain for export, produced by folk kilns during the Kangxi period, has historically been referred to by Westerners as "green family porcelain". This name was given by Albert Jacquemart in the book Historie artistique, industrielle et commerciale de la porcelain, Paris 1862, to denote a group of pieces where the green glaze presents a certain leadership in the decorative composition.

The landscapes are dominated by the presence of trees with large canopies, a symbol widely used in Chinese art because of its symbolic character, related to longevity. The eroded rocks represent the passage of time.
