Prunus Vase (Meiping) with Blossoming Lotus
A tall, narrow meiping vase with a deep blue ground and raised white and turquoise lotus blossoms, leaves, and stems. A cloud-scroll band circles the shoulder, and a panel border with stylized motifs frames the foot.
Look closer: A small dark dot, possibly an insect, sits on the petals of the central lotus.
