Description
Ceramic vase that is rectangular in shape. The sides of the vase are shaped like an hour glass, and narrow with panels at the top to form a small square neck and opening. The background of the vase is beige in color. One side of the vase depicts a fish in blue with a rust red detailing. The two small sides depict bamboo in green. The other side depicts a chicken, rooster, and tree branch in blue, rust red, and black. The top panels are painted the same green as the bamboo, and the edges of the vase are outlined in the same rust red color used for the detailing of the fish and chickens.
