Original Presentation Script
This Chinese famille verte 'Yenyen' vase dates from the Kangxi period (1662-1722) and stands at 38.1 cm including its mounts. It features beautifully rendered pheasants among peonies and rockwork, exemplifying the rich decorative traditions of the era's overglaze enamels. The vase was later fitted with European gilt-bronze mounts at the rim and base, a common practice in the 18th and 19th centuries to adapt fine Chinese porcelain for luxurious Western interiors. The combination of vibrant colors and the gilt-bronze mounts makes it a remarkable piece for collectors of Asian antiques and European decorative arts.

Peer Review Summary
Peer Review
Key Visible Evidence
The images show a baluster-form vase with a flared neck (yen-yen shape) decorated in the famille verte overglaze enamel palette, featuring pheasants, rocks, and peonies. The porcelain's painting style, composition, and palette are consistent with Kangxi period wares. The vase is fitted with European gilt-bronze mounts at the rim and base, which are stylistically later additions.
Market and Source Support
Live search confirms this exact item was listed by Rob Michiels Auctions for their September 5, 2026 sale, titled 'A Chinese famille verte gilt-bronze-mounted 'Yenyen' vase with pheasants, Kangxi,' with an estimate of €3,000 - €6,000.
Needs Verification
['The exact dating and origin of the gilt-bronze mounts (likely 19th-century European) are not specified in the draft.', 'Inspection of the porcelain beneath the mounts is needed to check for condition issues, such as a reduced rim or drilled base, which are common in mounted wares.']
Audit Conclusion
The report's attribution of the porcelain to the Kangxi period is supported by visual evidence and auction records. However, the report should be clarified to explicitly state that the gilt-bronze mounts are later European additions, rather than implying the entire assembled object is from the Kangxi period.
