Total Height: 52.3 cm Bottom Diameter: 14.5 cm Top Diameter: 7 cm The bottle features a small mouth, sleek shoulders, a gourd-shaped waist that gently tapers, a shallow circular foot, and the entire body from the mouth to the base forms an octagonal shape. Its classic and intricate design adds to the difficulty of its craftsmanship. The upper part is adorned with an eight-treasure lotus petal pattern, depicting entwined branches of flowers and phoenix motifs, while the lower part features an auspicious lotus petal pattern. The shoulder area is surrounded by an eight-treasure lotus petal pattern, and the abdomen is intricately painted with a dragon traversing clouds and lingzhi mushrooms, with floral lotus petals encircling the bottom. The realistic portrayal showcases exceptional painting skills. The indigo-blue color of the cobalt blue Su-style glaze is vibrant, with scattered shades blending naturally, revealing crystallized glaze spots. The glaze texture, white with a hint of blue, feels smooth and glossy like jade, while the robust and delicate quality of the body makes it a truly collectible piece.
