well potted with a tapering ovoid body rising to a tall cylindrical neck flaring at the rim, brilliantly enamelled in vivid shades of pink, green, iron-red, white and sepia with a pair of phoenix birds below the sun perched atop a tree branch and rockwork amidst blossoming peonies wreathed by a profuse foliage, the base inscribed with an iron-red six-character seal mark

The vase has a distinct and pleasing form, with an ovoid body gently spring from a recessed foot and curving to a slender neck.
