Description

masterfully conjured by the most dexterous craftsmen in the Imperial Workshops under the direct mandate from the Emperor, the immaculate glass charmingly modelled in the form of a ribbon-tied pouch, its ovoid body carved with vertical ribs simulating textile pleats, elegantly tapering to a fluted neck and ruffled rim, wreathed by a twisted soft-pink sash fastened into an off-centred knotted ribbon suspending two flowing tassels, exquisitely painted on each side depicting a phoenix gracefully swooping from cascading pink and lavender-blue clouds amid peonies, their bodies covered in flamboyant plumage individually picked out in shades of pink, green, yellow, blue and aubergine and gilding, their nimble wings outstretched to reveal the fluffy pinkish-white feathers on the underside of their bodies, extending to a trailing two-feathered tail in matching colours patterned with circular motifs, their crested heads supported on long necks with billowing plumes, curling backwards towards a cluster of frilly-edged peony blooms, the realistically painted flowers rendered in shades of rose-pink and aubergine, supported on stems with abundant foliage in two shades of green, the blue-enamelled four-character reign mark cleverly enclosed within a budding bloom, the fluted neck embellished with dianthus florets suspending jewelled pendants, all reserved on an imperial yellow ground save for the interior and base exposing the translucent vitreous material
