Vase - moon bottle pilgrim bottle with a flattened belly, supported by a separate oval high foot, with a short neck resembling a garlic bulb suantoukou type. Decoration on one side: a multicolored composition depicting a chrysanthemum flower growing on a coastal rock, above which a dragonfly and a grasshopper hover. The other side: lilies irises on a rock above the water, with a butterfly and a grasshopper perched above them. Small, colorful flowers growing on the shore are also visible in both representations. Both compositions use the flowers and birds motif known from Chinese scroll painting. A Chinese meander forms the background for both compositions. The foot, side edges, and neck are filled with a lotus tendril pattern. Colors dominated by red, white, green, yellow, and navy blue; elements without enamel are gilded. Visible abrasions of the gilding and firing-related technological defects. Cloisonné enamel. Qing dynasty, 2nd half 18th century. China. Vessel. Height 29.8 cm; width 21.1 cm., A rounded vase with a narrow neck and flared base sits against a grey background; the vase is predominantly blue with intricate decorative patterns in green, white, red, yellow, and gold. The main faces show floral motifs and leafy stems in green and white, with red and yellow accents and a yellow butterfly-like shape perched among the plants. Gold bands rim the edges and a repeating maze-like blue pattern fills the central panels. The neck and sides display swirling vine designs with stylized flowers in white, red, and green, and small yellow ornamental elements. The base echoes the floral vine decoration and gold trim.
