(From an Old Collection)Scarlet Red Enamel Patterned Bird and Flower Vase with Ribbon-shaped Handles

This product inherits the ancient firing technique of the Qing Dynasty imperial kiln’s red lacquer and gold decoration. It is made from traditional porcelain clay, through multiple processes such as preliminary firing, glazing, painting, gold decoration, and re-firing. The entire piece is coated with a warm and lustrous white glaze, with a uniform and elegant glaze color. The surface is smooth and fine, like polished fat, and the clay body is dense and solid, fully demonstrating the luxurious texture of colored porcelain. The body of the bottle is hand-painted with red lacquer flower and bird patterns by artisans, and the feathers and flower stamens of the birds and the petals are outlined with real gold. The rooster is standing upright, and the peony is blooming. The brushwork is smooth and vivid. The decorative patterns on both sides are gold-decorated phoenix ears, which are delicately and vividly hand-painted. The patterns are lifelike and expressive, without the dullness of industrialized printing. The entire piece has exquisite craftsmanship and fully displays the elegant grace of the Qing Dynasty imperial kiln.
In Chinese folk culture, the rooster symbolizes “great good luck and promotion”, and the imperial title promotion. The peony represents wealth and prosperity. The combination of red lacquer, gold decoration, and the luxurious style of the Qing Dynasty imperial kiln conforms to the ancient people’s yearning for auspiciousness and prosperity, and conveys the expectations of a prosperous and fulfilling life.
The flower and bird bottle has a dignified and expansive shape, combining practicality and ornamental value. It can be placed in the hall or study for display, or given as a gift to friends and relatives. The luxurious and grand shape, combined with profound cultural connotations, is an ideal choice for new Chinese-style soft furnishing accessories and elegant gift items.
