Porcelain cylindrical vase with peacock and floral decoration

This style of cylindrical porcelain vase with peacock motifs became popular in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often produced for both domestic use and export markets. The peacock symbolizes beauty, dignity, and good fortune in Chinese culture, making such decorative pieces highly desirable. These vases were typically used as brush pots, umbrella stands, or purely decorative objects in homes and offices. Peacock-decorated porcelain appeals to collectors of Asian ceramics, interior designers seeking authentic Oriental accents, and enthusiasts of symbolic Chinese art. The combination of traditional imagery with functional form makes these pieces valued both for their aesthetic beauty and cultural significance. Collectors particularly appreciate examples with fine hand-painted details and vibrant enamel colors that have survived intact over the decades.
