Vase with Peony
A tall vase holds large red peonies and sprays of pink blossoms, with leafy stems spreading across the upper half. Beside it stand a carved incense burner, a flower basket, a lamp, and cloud-shaped motifs, all in soft red, green, and ochre over clean outlines.
Look closer: A vertical line of calligraphy in dark ink sits beside the upper peonies.
