A Pair of Kangxi Period Blue Glaze Chinese Antique Jars with Gilded Figures

Description: Description: This is a pair of rare Kangxi period jars with a stunning blue glaze and intricate gold-painted figures, which I recently acquired from a local collector. The fact that they come as a pair makes them even more valuable. One jar's base is inscribed with the reign mark "Made in the Chenghua period of the Ming dynasty," and the other jar is marked "Made in the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty." In reality, these jars were produced during the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty, with the Chenghua and Jiajing marks serving as "tribute marks" – a common practice of the Kangxi era craftsmen, adding an elegant nod to past dynasties. The craftsmanship on these jars is exquisite, with a thick, creamy glaze typical of Kangxi porcelain. The fact that they are a matching pair makes them especially rare.
