About the Item

The phoenix tail vase form dates back as far as the bronze age and has remained a popular shape for its clean lines and graceful curves. Created in the early 20th century, this particular tall vase depicts a stylized phoenix in a colorful garden setting, perched beside a large peony blossom - an emblem of love and affection. Lavishly detailed and masterfully painted, the vase demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship maintained by Qing-dynasty ceramic artists. Lacy cut-out handles add to the vase’s delicate form.
