Blue and White Ceramic Vase

This striking blue and white ceramic jar showcases a multi-faceted design, with each panel meticulously hand-painted. The main body features serene depictions of figures, possibly sages or arhats, seated amidst flowing natural elements and cloud formations, suggesting a contemplative landscape. Elegant floral designs, likely peonies, adorn the shoulder panels, while a finely detailed geometric pattern graces the rim. The base is completed with stylized flame motifs. This piece exemplifies the refined artistry of traditional Chinese porcelain, with its masterful use of cobalt blue on a pristine white ground.
