An intricate composition of flowers and Chinese characters, rendered in detail on a vibrant dark blue teal background, adorns the body of this exquisite Imperial Canton temple vase. Temple vases such as this take inspiration from those that originated during the Qing Dynasty in China. It was in this era that potters and artists began using a much more expansive color palette to decorate ceramics. Two bands of contrasting blue and yellow, equally detailed in design, decorate the vase''s neck and mouth. The vase''s spherical body tapers gracefully at the neck, creating an elegant silhouette. It is a magnificent work of art that will serve as the focal point for any space. Display it on a console table or niche where it is sure to be admired for its beauty.
