One of a pair of hard-paste porcelain vases. The four sides are decorated respectively with the Flowers of the Four Seasons, prunus, peony, chrysanthemum and lotus, growing in dense clusters intertwined with smaller flowers and plants. A small bouquet of sprigs at each corner of the sloping shoulders. The trumpet neck with sprays of flowering tree peony growing from jagged ornamental rockwork. The flowers all grow from rockwork on the right hand side. All of this is within line boders in dark underglaze blue. Painted in underglaze blue and iron red, yellow, aubergine, turquoise and two green enamels enhanced with gilding.
Marked within a small recessed glazed panel of square shape at the centre of the unglazed flat base.
Considered to be a 19th century copy.
