This double-handled vase is a collaborative masterpiece by ceramic masters Zhang Songmao and his wife, Xu Yafeng. The vessel features an elegant silhouette with flared rim, elongated neck, bulbous belly, and ring foot. A pair of coral-red chi-dragon handles adorns the sides of the neck. The rim and lower body are decorated with exquisite fencai floral scrolls, ruyi pendant leaves, and layered meander patterns. The neck is embellished with "Ji" (auspicious) and "Xiang" (lucky) motifs, symbolizing good fortune and smooth progress. The main scene depicts "Peacocks Opening to Display Wealth." Two peacocks perch gracefully on rocks, their feathers rendered with delicate layering and vibrant, lifelike eye spots. Surrounding them, peonies and wisteria bloom in a symphony of color. Peonies represent prosperity and honor, while peacocks symbolize auspiciousness and nobility, together conveying the message of "wealth revealed and a brilliant future ahead." The reverse side bears the running script inscription "Peacocks Opening to Display Wealth," dated to the Year of Wuxu, accompanied by seals. The integration of calligraphy and painting creates a refined artistic atmosphere. Zhang Songmao excels in bird-and-flower and figure painting, while Xu Yafeng specializes in fencai coloring. Their collaboration results in a piece characterized by meticulous brushwork, rich and lustrous colors, and a harmonious composition. This work combines exceptional craftsmanship with the artistic value of renowned masters, making it a premier example of contemporary fencai porcelain for display.
