CHINOISERIE CAST BRASS DRAGON HANDLE ALTAR VASE WITH PEONY & BIRD RELIEF – 13.75 INCH STATEMENT PIECE

Vintage Chinese cast brass altar vase featuring twin sculptural dragon handles and high-relief peony and bird motif symbolizing prosperity and harmony. This substantial 13 ¾ inch vase has a flared trumpet rim (4 ¾ inch diameter), 5 inch diameter at widest point, and weighs 5.14 pounds, giving it impressive architectural presence.

The body showcases detailed raised peony blossoms and perched birds over textured foliage, with a lotus motif at the neck and stepped pedestal base. Solid cast brass construction with natural vintage patina, age-appropriate oxidation within recesses, minor surface spotting, and a small opening at the base consistent with vintage lamp conversion (does not affect display).

No structural damage observed. Ships securely packed and fully insured due to weight.

Style as a commanding Chinoiserie statement on a foyer console, flanking a mirror on a mantel, layered into a Hollywood Regency vignette, or paired with emerald velvet, black lacquer, or ivory and gold interiors for dramatic Eclectic Whimsy impact.
