This ornate baluster-form vase features a light blue and lavender ground decorated with intricate wirework and vibrant enamels. The central body displays two stylized phoenix birds with outstretched wings positioned above "One Hundred Antiques" motifs, including vases, scholar’s objects, and floral arrangements. The neck is flanked by two cast brass elephant-head handles with downward-turned trunks, symbolizing strength and wisdom. The rim, base, and handles show a natural aged patina to the brass.
