This oriental flat porcelain vase is a striking example of traditional Chinese ceramic artistry, characterized by its distinctive flattened, rectangular shape that exudes both elegance and functionality. The vase's smooth, glossy surface is adorned with a classic blue-and-white design, featuring a dynamic scene of two dragons intertwined amidst swirling clouds, their sinuous forms rendered in deep cobalt blue against a creamy white background. Above the dragons, a majestic phoenix perches within a circular medallion, surrounded by intricate floral and scrollwork patterns that add a sense of balance and harmony to the composition. The vase is further embellished with two sculpted dragon-shaped handles on either side, their coiled bodies adding a tactile dimension to the piece. A delicate floral motif graces the narrow neck, completing the design with a touch of refinement. Likely dating to the Ming or Qing Dynasty, this vase embodies the timeless symbolism of power and renewal, making it a cherished artifact of cultural heritage.
