(43 cm) H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA commanding celadon-ground baluster vase (花瓶, \u003cem\u003ehuāpíng\u003c\/em\u003e) in blue-and-white (青花, \u003cem\u003eqīnghuā\u003c\/em\u003e), hand-painted with a peacock amid peony (牡丹, \u003cem\u003emǔdān\u003c\/em\u003e) blossoms, rockwork, and aquatic grasses rendered in vivid cobalt with skillful tonal gradation. The bird's elaborate tail plumage cascades across the belly in fine feathered strokes, each ocellus (eye-spot) articulated with precision. Flanking the waisted neck are a pair of reticulated ruyi-cloud (如意, \u003cem\u003erúyì\u003c\/em\u003e) ear handles glazed in deep cobalt, decorative rather than functional. The reverse presents a spare floral spray against the pale celadon ground. The unglazed foot ring shows sandy buff paste with iron spotting consistent with 19th-century Jingdezhen export production. No reign mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCondition: A hairline crack runs across the flared mouth rim, visible in detail images; a small filled loss is present on the inner rim. The body is otherwise intact, glaze bright and well-preserved. Iron-spot inclusions in the paste are intrinsic to the period. The reticulated ear handles retain minor darkening at the piercings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA substantial decorative vase with confident brushwork and a classic auspicious subject — peacock and peony together symbolize beauty, rank, and prosperity — well-suited to a serious collection of 19th-century Chinese export porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51554714747197,"sku":"26L0109aaj","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/IMG_6737.jpg?v=1775434708","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/antique-chinese-qing-dynasty-blue-white-porcelain-baluster-vase-peacock-peony-17h","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
