Vase with Chi-Dragon Handles and Flowers and Birds
A square-shouldered porcelain vase painted in enamels with flowering plum branches, a weathered rock, red berries and foliage, and two speckled birds on the lower left and right. Orange-red dragon-form handles curve up from the body.
Look closer: A speckled bird sits near the base on the right, partly hidden by foliage.
