The vase features a classic baluster form with a flared mouth, a waisted neck, a broad, rounded shoulder, a tapering body, and a splayed foot. Crafted from a substantial copper body with intricate wire inlay, the surface is richly decorated against a deep, warm red ground that is densely patterned with a fine, scrolling gilt wire cloud motif. The main body is adorned with two vibrant, hand-painted yellow dragons with detailed scales, horns, and claws, surrounded by stylized blue and white cloud scrolls and a central flaming pearl motif. The neck features a prominent pink peony blossom, and the foot is decorated with a band of delicate floral sprays in white, yellow, and pink. The rims, bases, and decorative bands are finished with polished gold gilding. The interior is glazed in a solid, bright turquoise blue. This large vase comes with its original fitted dark wooden display stand and presentation box, making it a highly decorative and collectible piece.
