- Description:
The mouth and neck of the instrument are slightly wide and concave. The bottle is covered with white glaze. The surface of the bottle is painted with rocks, sea water, plum bamboos and ganoderma lucidum. There are five red crowned white cranes. During their habitat, they either spread their wings, or sing, or drink. The tire is thin and transparent. The blue material on the bottom of the tool is a four character seal character made in the year of Qianlong, with two side frames. The painting of rocks and sea water on the surface of the vase symbolizes longevity and happiness. It is a common decoration in the court of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although this vase is expressed in a natural way of landscape, flowers and birds, its hidden meaning is self-evident.
