A rare triple gourd porcelain vase with iron-red decoration of precious objects and flowers.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :

The uniqueness of this vase lies in its unusual shape. The final bulb near the neck is most often perfectly spherical or ovoid; here, two bulges are superimposed — one might almost call it a quadruple-gourd vase.
