Pair of Chinese Famille Rose Vases, 19th/20th century, the two baluster vases with elephant lugs on either side of the neck, with a floral motif on a white ground, the larger reserves depicting figures engaged in battle and the smaller reserves depicting sages, the undersides unmarked, h. 13", w. 6". Provenance: The collection of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Kendall, Jr., Houston, Texas.

Rubbing to gilt along the upper rim of each vase and very light rubbing to surface enamels. One elephant-shaped lug has a tiny old nick to the glaze. Some faint firing anomalies and thinning glaze on the interior of each vase. Wear is very minor and commensurate with age and display.
