Vase - Porcelain - China - Large Blanc de Chine Vase

Chinese Dehua Blanc de Chine Fanghu Vase with Lion-Mask Ring Handles ( No:2 ) Impressive and unusually large Chinese blanc-de-chine porcelain vase, made in Dehua, Fujian province, This elegant square-section fanghu vase is covered in a soft ivory-white glaze.
