The craftsmanship reflects an emphasis on detail, with gilded accents highlighting the decorative shields and symbolic elements such as the swastika, an auspicious emblem in Chinese culture. The interior of the vase is embellished with hand painted design of fish and plants

Resting atop a finely carved rosewood stand, the piece gains an added layer of sophistication. The stand's dark hue and sinuous curves provide a harmonious contrast to the bowl's bright design, enhancing its aesthetic balance. Altogether, this fish bowl serves not only as a functional planter but as a refined statement piece.
