Description:
This carp flower vase has a fish body and a dragon head, which opens it mouth to hold flowers. A small dragon accompanies the carp. Carp is an epithet of a big "trionyx sinenis" and carp has a connotation of leaping over the dragon gate and transforming into a dragon. The flower vase is carved of a freckled white jade, and the artisans cleverly used the brown specks to adorn the whiskers, mouth, and back fin, thereby making the jade carving more prominent. Moreover, the meticulous carving enhances the elegance of the vessel. It is truly a masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty.
