and molded spiraled center section decorated with a design of various types of
chrysanthemums centered between borders of upright and pendant lotus petals
painted in iron red on either side of basket weave borders and flower cell
borders. The widely flared rim having alternating colored floral sprays in petal shaped
frames beneath a border of meandering periwinkle and chrysanthemum blossoms. On the interior rim the same meandering floral border is present. The
splayed platform base painted with alternating red and green dots framed by blue
lines beneath a wide blue raised rib and above it an egg and dart type border. The base is unmarked and glazed white with the foot rim showing evidence of
burning. Originally part of a garniture set that most likely was composed
of five vases. |
