De Chang Tao Ci Black & White Orchid Vase

A striking example of Chinese export porcelain from De Chang Tao Ci, one of China's well-regarded porcelain makers. Square-form vase with a flared trumpet mouth and raised footed base, finished with four black bun feet. The body is decorated in an all-over black transferware pattern featuring a rooster and hen beneath a flowering orchard tree, with birds in flight and a classical urn — framed above and below by dense geometric borders. The contrast between the inky black print and the crisp white ground is exceptional.
