For your consideration we offer a pair of hand painted Asian portrait vases by Maitland-Smith, Ltd. Rarely seen, this exquisite pair of vases are finished in a bright shade of lemon yellow with hand applied gilt trimming, each one features a hand painted portrait that depicts an Asian scholar. Substantial in size and quite heavy, the vases stand approximately 14" in height on a base measuring 5.5" in diameter. They are 9" in width just below the neck (their widest point) with a slightly flared 7" opening. A few areas at the base have become worn over time and an effort was apparently made to conceal the loss of glaze on the bottom. This is not visible when the vases are on display and does not distract from their appearance. Otherwise the vases are in very good vintage condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, enamel or paint loss, prior repairs, or other compromising imperfections found. The original Maitland Smith labeling remains fully intact on the base of each. Wear is appropriate for age and history of use, so please review the photos as they are a descriptive part of the listing. Truly a study in quiet elegance and sound design, these vases are sure to enhance the beauty of any room in your home. An estate find.
