The complex square form cong shaped vase is first brilliantly potted, then painstakingly painted in deep cobalt blue in a style and pattern generally referred to in Chinese ceramics as master of the rocks. The main opposing tapered oblong panels decorated with birds upon bamboo and boats upon a river beneath a mountainous backdrop, the conforming side panels painted in a geometric pattern with roundels depicting deer, flora, landscapes and calligraphy, the delicate foot rim has been decorated with a band of overlapping waves with the neck and shoulders decorated in formal bands and stylised flora, the underside nicely signed with the seal that translates to Makuzu Gama Kozan Sei and works from the 1900’s period of production.

As a result, the bamboos appear took on a three-dimensional quality as if appearing in a mist.
