Masterfully potted, the large globular lower bulb gracefully sweeps up to a significantly smaller upper bulb and rises to a proportionally elegant slender neck and flared mouth. The lower bulb is meticulously painted in soft pastel famille-rose enamels with large stylized lotus, double lotus, peonies and attendant hibiscus flowers.
