This exquisite 19th-century porcelain vase has a gently tapered body and a wide, flared lip, flanked by two molded scroll handles. Painted with expressive brushwork, the vase depicts a serpentine dragon soaring through clouds and a regal phoenix surrounded by lotus buds. Both creatures are pictured facing a flaming pearl, an emblem of the sun, of balance, and of power. Hand-painted with cobalt pigments, the vibrant blue decoration pops against the creamy white field with striking design.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
