Chinoiseries Set 2 Porcelain Vases by Pedro Proença for Vista Alegre
In the vases Du Fu and Li Bai of the Chinoiseries collection, Pedro Proença pays a double tribute to the almost calligraphic side of Chinese porcelain and its exuberant decoration, with its dancing and colorful style. Here the design is playful, through figures, vases, leaves, fruits, animals, pearls, feathers and other elements replicating the ornamental richness of original pieces. Each vase makes an allusion to a famous Chinese poets, Du Fu and Li Bai, characterized by their direct, spontaneous and meditative style, allowing greater symbolism to this celebration of oriental culture.
