About this piece
A rooster perches where the pouring spout should be.
Potters at the Cizhou kilns of Henan Province, China, made this vase with a rooster and lotus design in porcelain in the 19th century. The rooster is commonly associated in China with good fortune and the morning. A small rooster sits on the neck, above a ribbed collar. The rounded body is carved with overlapping lotus petals. The glaze is a pale celadon green, thin and glossy, and gathers a little darker in the carved lines.
About 10 inches tall. A fine small companion for a windowsill.
