About this work

This is a tall, decorated vase drawn in watercolor. The vase has a narrow neck and a wide base with curved edges. It’s painted in bright colors—red, yellow, and green—with floral patterns and gold accents. The top of the vase has a round, detailed design with more flowers and a small medallion in the center. The handwriting at the bottom says something about "cased lacquer in wood," which might hint at how the vase was made. The style looks careful and precise, not loose like some other painted objects. If you like this kind of detailed, colorful drawing, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more objects like this.
