Large 16.5" Armorial Porcelain Vase - Russian Imperial Style - St. George Crest

This 16.5-inch baluster vase features a bold, hand-painted rendition of the Russian Imperial Double-Headed Eagle, with the central shield of St. George and the Dragon.  The piece is executed in the Chinese Export tradition, utilizing a vibrant palette of enamels and gold detailing.  Specifications:  - Design: Imperial Russian heraldry with a traditional wave-pattern base and floral sprays on the neck. - Period: The style is rooted in the 1700s, though the porcelain body and execution suggest a later 19th or mid-20th-century production. - Dimensions: Stands 16.5 inches tall. A significant size for a mantel or pedestal display. - Condition: The porcelain and enameled surfaces are well-preserved. Please note the base is drilled (likely for a lamp conversion), which is a common modification for vases of this scale from this era.  This is a stately piece for anyone interested in heraldic art or large-scale decorative porcelain.
