Sold for €3,380
including Buyer's Premium
Of elegant baluster form, the eight-lobed vase heavily cast with a spreading foot, rounded shoulder, waisted neck, and galleried rim, flanked by two openworked and neatly incised handles modeled as chilong clambering up the vase in dynamic poses, their long furcated tails trailing behind.
