The vase’s elegant form, standing at 11 inches tall with an 8-inch diameter, features a smoothly rounded body that gracefully tapers into a flared rim, embodying both balance and refinement.

A hallmark of fine Chinese craftsmanship, the vase is adorned with intricate decorative handles, possibly inspired by mythical creatures or traditional motifs, adding a touch of ornate detailing to its otherwise minimalist silhouette.
