Vase. Hard-paste porcelain painted in underglaze blue and iron-red, yellow, turquoise, black and two green enamels with a phoenix and other birds amid flowering plants
Vase. Hard-paste porcelain painted in underglaze blue and iron-red, yellow, turquoise, black and two green enamels. The elegant, slender baluster body is surmounted by a flared neck. The sides are decorated with a continuous scene of a phoenix standing proudly on a large outcrop of jagged rockwork in washed tones of underglaze blue, surrounded by tall sprays of tree peony in iron-red, yellow and turquoise with stems in aubergine outlined in sepia-black and foliage in two tones of green, and a magnolia tree with turquoise flowers encircled by haloes of underglaze blue; a songbird is seated in its branches and three others are in flight overhead. The shoulders are encircled by a cracked-ice border pencilled in underglaze blue and the cut-down neck with iron-red peony and lingzhi fungus growing behind two pierced rocks in underglaze blue.
