Standing amidst mountains, clouds, and foliage, a regal peacock surveys its domain. Revered as an emblem of beauty
and dignity, the peacock's handsome tail feathers were used to designate official rank through the Ming and Qing
dynasties. The tall neck of this fantail form vase is surrounded by a ring of auspicious ruyi, symbols of good fortune.
Hand-painted in Southern China, this vase is a wonderful example of contemporary Chinese blue-and-white porcelain,
sought after by avid collectors and connoisseurs for centuries.
