This vase is attributed to the Chenghua period of the Ming dynasty, identified by its doucai decoration and a reign mark indicating this era. It features a thin body approximately 1 millimeter thick, revealing a faint flesh-red tone beneath the glaze. The vase has three hand-painted floral panels showcasing fluid brushwork and vivid, pure colors, reflecting skilled craftsmanship. Both the mouth and base are adorned with a finely woven bamboo basket design, created by an early collector for protective and decorative purposes. The size of the piece is 7.2 by 4 by 4 inches, offering an intimate scale characteristic of exquisite Ming ceramics. No detailed condition or provenance information is supplied.
