A decorative ceramic vase with red chinoiserie decoration on a white ground, English work in the style of Staffordshire/United Wilson productions, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (1890-1920). Baluster-shaped with a rectangular base and neck, the bulbous body is decorated with a lakeside landscape featuring figures and vegetation, executed in a dark pink transfer glaze, hand-highlighted over the glaze. The raised side handles depict leafy branches with stylized peaches. A brush mark under the base remains to be identified, likely a workshop mark.
Height 25.5 cm, maximum width 16 cm, depth 11-12 cm. In very good overall condition, with a firing crack on one leaf of a handle and a few other discreet, original cracks. A light patina, mainly on the neck and rim, is subtle and in keeping with the style and age of the piece. Approximately 1.2 kg.
