Pair of ‘Scene’ pink family vases, Qing dynasty

Small vases in pink-family enamelled porcelain. They have a hexagonal base and a balustraded body, with a narrow neck flanked by curved handles from which fruits hang in relief and ending in a large flaring mouth. They are decorated with a continuous scene filled with characters, presumably peasants, performing tasks in nature. On the base is a four-character seal ‘同治年制’.
