Important pair of covered Chinese porcelain jars.
Rich “Imari” type decor with pheasants in a bucolic environment of pierced rocks and branches of peony and prunus.
The decoration on a white background is made in cobalt blue and iron red under translucent glaze, with gilding highlights which delineate the contours and decorate the petals of the flowers and the plumages of the birds.
The upper and lower parts as well as the edges of the lids have friezes imitating basketry.
The two original lids are topped with Fö dogs serving as grips.

Perfect condition, small wear to the gilding.

China, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, reign of Emperor Kangxi around 1720.
