19th century Chinese Chenghua-style (1447 - 1487) crackle glazed vase, finely decorated with vibrant famille verte enamels. The baluster-shaped vase features a detailed scene of equestrian warriors in a dynamic battle, with figures on horseback and in traditional robes, accented by flowing banners and dramatic action.
The crackle glaze, a hallmark of Chenghua-style ceramics, adds texture and depth to the vase’s surface, giving it an antique appearance.
The lid is decorated with a fierce-looking mask and bold, colourful motifs, complementing the vivid scene on the vase's body. The contrasting tones of green, red, yellow, and black create a striking visual effect that brings the narrative scene to life.
