Item details
This is a melon-shaped vase with a Qianlong mark, decorated with gilt lotus scrolls and four seasons bird-and-flower scenes with poetry on a turquoise ground. The eight-sided form has a flared mouth, a long neck, and an outward-flaring foot, with a dignified, upright profile. Gilt lotus scrolls, foliage, bats, seal-script longevity characters, and the Eight Buddhist Emblems cover the body; four-season bird-and-flower scenes and imperial poems appear within the eight begonia-shaped panels. The decoration is dense yet clearly layered, with fluent painting and natural shading. Height 45.5 cm, Width 24 cm
