Lotus Petal Vase
A slender porcelain vase with a long, slightly flaring neck, a rounded body, and a short foot ring. Its mottled rose-pink glaze, the so-called peach bloom, is smooth and glossy, and the lower body is carved with vertical petal-like ridges. A thin white rim sits at the mouth.
Look closer: Faint vertical fluting carved into the lower body, catching light along its ridges.
