Republican Chinese Famille Rose Garlic Mouth Vase by Li Runzhi (Qixin Factory, 1926)

This is a rare Republican period (1926) famille rose garlic-mouth vase, produced by Qixin Porcelain Factory (?????the earliest mechanized porcelain factory in northern China) and painted by underground Communist artist Li Runzhi.
The vase features a finely painted scene of a lady and child, paired with a poetic inscription to Ban Jieyu on the reverse. The calligraphy bears the artist’s signature "Li Runzhi Zuo" and the cyclical date "Bingyin (1926)".
The base bears the factory mark "Qixin Porcelain Factory" in blue, confirming its origin. The piece shows natural age-related wear, including minor kiln traces on the foot ring, which are consistent with its period and production process.
This vase is a key example of early Chinese industrial porcelain with revolutionary-era literati painting, blending mechanized production with artistic expression.
