Vase in the shape of five connected vases on a base, Chinese, colored porcelain with dragon and floral decorations, 18th/19th century China, vessel, height 15.8 cm., A ceramic object with a glossy finish sits against a plain light gray background, featuring a bright yellow body decorated with floral and dragon-like motifs in muted grays, browns, and rust tones, and accents of turquoise and pale blue along the lower rim. The top edge is surrounded by a pinkish band with scalloped turquoise detailing, and several small white cup-shaped openings with smooth rims are arranged across the top. The surface shows painted leaves and a large radiating flower in pale gray and white, and a sinuous dragon-like figure in brownish-red on one side. The piece casts a soft reflection on the surface beneath it.
