Phoenix amid peonies is a traditional Chinese decorative motif. The phoenix is the king of birds and the peony is the king of flowers; together they represent wealth and rank. With a red glaze, the vase has gold dragon-shaped ears adorning either side. The exterior has a familie rose painting of a phoenix amid peonies. Bright and beautifully colored, the work as a whole exemplifies the craftsmanship of Jiaqing-era imperial porcelain.
