This glazed and lustered earthenware vase is shaped like a tall, elongated bell: round at the top, gently flaring below. The shoulder of the vase is wider than the foot, with the circular opening centered on the top. The vase is decorated with a simple floral motif. A row of large flowers, shaped like halves of daisy flowers, bloom around the wide shoulders. Below, a row of smaller similar flowers alternate with the large flowers. The flowers have long straight stems, with simple upright leaves ending in spirals and squiggles between the stems. The iridescent vase is a rainbow of colors: golden green, teal, sky blue, pinkish purple, maroon, magenta, warm orange, and gold. Cool colors dominate the round shoulders of the vase; warm colors dominate the tall body.
