A BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN VASE, China, late 19th/early 20th century

h cm 30

Of six-petal lobed section, the globular body rises on a raised foot and terminates in a short neck with a flared rim. Each panel is finely painted with a five-clawed dragon emerging from turbulent waves, interspersed above with peaches and bats. The centre of the base bears an apocryphal four-character Chenghua Emperor mark in underglaze blue within a double square.
