AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An impressive and richly decorated Chinese porcelain vase with a vibrant yellow ground (Famille Jaune).
The body features a dynamic scene of traditional Chinese dragons (long) pursuing the flaming pearl amid stylized clouds. The shoulder and neck are adorned with refined decorative bands featuring floral motifs, ruyi shapes, and geometric patterns.
The base bears an iron-red, four-character seal mark: “乾隆年製” (Qianlong Nian Zhi, made during the Qianlong period).
Please note: this is a so-called apocryphal mark in honor of the Qing dynasty; the vase itself was made in the second half of the 20th century (Late Republic / PRC period).
