Striking vintage Chinese porcelain basket-form vase featuring elaborate Famille Rose / Rose Medallion-style decoration. The vase is richly decorated with a detailed figural garden scene surrounded by colorful flowers, foliage and intricate ornamental borders against a dark ground.

The unusual basket form is highlighted by a dramatic overhead gilt handle, extensive gold-tone detailing and a softly glazed pale celadon/cream interior.
