turning, h 51.8cm × d 7.9cm More details

Crafted in a unique way, this large vase consists of three components that were fired separately and then joined: the pear-shaped body, the elongated neck, and the lotusshaped top. The decoration was created in two stages, beginning with the application of the blue design. Following the initial firing, the green, yellow, and red hues were added, after which the porcelain was fired a second time.
