Large Chinese Vase

For your consideration is this large Chinese antique hand painted underglaze blue and white vase dating to the 19th century. Finely hand painted details include a. Cartouche on either side depicting a bird (maybe a robin) with two smaller lotus cartouches above each and floral motifs decorating the body and neck with a pair of sculpted dogs or dragons on either side. I have never seen another example of this common pattern with birds anywhere else. Very good condition with the exception of an approximately 4.5 inch darkened crack to the cartouche on one side (see photos) which is surrounded by an unglazed portion. Otherwise excellent display condition. Cleaned with a damp cloth but may need additional cleaning. Measures 2″ foot (24″ inches) in height.
