This vibrant vintage porcelain vase is crafted in the classic Meiping (plum blossom) silhouette, featuring a broad, high shoulder and a gracefully tapering body. The vessel is covered in a bright, lustrous yellow ground and heavily decorated with "sancai" (three-color) style enamels. The main body features a dynamic, continuous scene: a green-scaled dragon winding across one side, and a brightly colored phoenix with sweeping tail feathers on the other. Both mythical creatures are surrounded by lush, scrolling peony vines in shades of green, turquoise, and brown. A decorative border of green and brown stylized lappets encircles the lower base. The flat base is glazed in a matching yellow and bears a reign mark in black script.
Dimensions:
Height: 32.5 cm (approx. 12.80 inches)
Belly Diameter: 12.5 cm (approx. 4.92 inches)
Maker's Mark:
The underside bears a six-character mark in black script, arranged in three columns. The characters read "大清康熙年製" (Da Qing Kangxi Nian Zhi), which translates to "Made in the Kangxi Period of the Great Qing." Note: As is common with vintage decorative pieces, this mark is likely apocryphal and serves as a tribute to the classic imperial style.
