1635 1650 Amsterdam Ceramic Cylindrical Holland Porcelain Pottery Rijksmuseum Sleeve Tall Vase Vases
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of seven sleeve vases, or rolwagens, from China, dating back to the 17th century. These exquisite porcelain vessels, now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland, are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic innovation of the Chinese ceramics industry during this period. The sleeve vases, named for their distinctive cylindrical shape and the ornate, flowing sleeves that adorn their necks, were popular collectibles in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. The intricate blue and white designs on these vases depict various scenes from Chinese mythology and daily life, reflecting the rich cultural exchange between China and Europe during this time. Each vase stands tall and proud, its delicate porcelain body adorned with intricate, hand-painted decorations. The sleeves, which are often adorned with dragons, phoenixes, or other mythical creatures, add an elegant and graceful touch to the overall design. The vases' modern presentation, displayed in a group, highlights their beauty and historical significance. These sleeve vases are a prime example of the artistic and cultural exchange that took place between China and Europe during the early modern period. They represent a time when the world was becoming more interconnected, and the exchange of ideas, art, and culture had a profound impact on the development of both Eastern and Western art. The Rijksmuseum's collection of these vases is a reminder of this fascinating period in history and the enduring beauty of Chinese porcelain.
