Chinese porcelain dragon and fenghuang fengeizun, a finely formed, phoenix-tail shape vase with a wide cup mouth, a red and yellow glazed exterior, and a white glazed interior and inset base. The cupped neck is banded by yellow, leafy lappets, above its ringed base collar. A band of intertwining, floral vines encircles the neck flange and a wide band of peony medallions on intertwining, leafy vines, decorates the shoulder of the vase, which is flanked by finely carved, red, Denglong beast-head handles. The body of the vase is decorated with a finely drawn dragon and fenghuang, on the front and back, chasing the flaming pearl of wisdom amid stylized clouds and Taoist flames, above a band of ocean waves and spume. A band of cloud and thunder meanders above large, Ru Yi lappets decorates the lower vase and foot. A blue, six character, Zhengde, reign mark is glazed to the inset base. The finely carved, traditional, Chinese hongmu stand is included. Circa Republic of China Era or earlier.
