Applied dragon handles rise along either side of the neck and give the piece an especially sculptural silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA painted inscription around the neck references the Zhizheng era of the Yuan dynasty. The inscription is considered apocryphal and decorative; this vase is a later 20th-century interpretation inspired by earlier Chinese blue-and-white ceramics rather than a Yuan-period object.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe underside is unglazed, revealing the warm buff-colored ceramic body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVintage condition with expected surface and glaze variation from age and manufacture. Minor wear and imperfections are visible, particularly around the applied handles, rim and unglazed foot. Please review all photographs closely for condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: approximately 13” H × 8” at widest point; top opening approximately 3”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlowers and styling accessories are not included.","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50429155442722,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5675\/2162\/files\/0ce5cb6b-f763-4d7d-85fb-2d7feba6c7cb.jpg?v=1790209873","url":"https:\/\/northdane.com\/products\/vintage-chinese-blue-and-white-phoenix-vase-with-sculptural-dragon-handles","provider":"North Dane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
