This is a rare and elegant Kangxi-style FOU wine vase, intricately engraved and enameled in three colors on biscuit porcelain. A stunning example of Qing artistry, this vase features a central medallion with a detailed dragon motif—symbolizing power, prosperity, and fortune. The prominent "FOU" character represents happiness, making this a meaningful piece often displayed during marital ceremonies, particularly on the day of hymen celebration.

Crafted in late 19th to early 20th century China, this piece is believed to have been produced in a specialized workshop and bears a workshop mark. Its celadon glaze and subtle enamel detailing are reminiscent of traditional Kangxi dynasty aesthetics.
