Description from the seller

Characteristics of the object
Decoration: The vase is hand-painted with a vivid, polychrome glaze. It depicts a classic Chinese scene with figures, including a character riding a mythical creature (such as a Qilin or dragon). This type of imagery often symbolizes luck, high status, or the wish for a successful offspring (Qilin Song Zi).
Style: The refined pink, iron-red, green, and yellow enamel colors are characteristic of the Famille Rose style. The cartouches with Chinese characters beside the figures identify the depicted historical or mythological characters.
Dating: This type of porcelain was produced on a large scale during the late Qing dynasty (such as the Guangxu period, ca. 1875–1908) and the subsequent Republic period (1912–1949).
