Vase with two taotie masks; Chinese, Qing dynasty 1644–1911, 18th–19th century. Porcelain vessel with dragons and taotie monster iconography in full sculpture and bas-relief. Height 15.2 cm; width 8.8 cm; depth 3.3 cm., A smooth pale object with a glossy surface rests on a gradated background transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom; the object is creamy white with subtle translucence and rounded, organic contours, appearing hollow at one end with a concave opening and flowing edges, while the exterior shows carved, raised patterns and layered forms suggesting ornamental detailing, and the lighting creates soft highlights and gentle shadows across the surface.
