Lotus Petal Vase
A tall, slender porcelain vase with a flared mouth and a bulbous lower body, covered in a soft rose-pink glaze with faint mottled speckling. The lower body is carved with vertical lobes resembling lotus petals, resting on a small foot ring. Lit against a dark backdrop, the glossy surface catches highlights.
Look closer: Faint mottled speckles across the glaze, the 'peach bloom' effect, are easy to overlook.
