The Kangxi reign period saw the heyday of polychrome porcelain in the Qing dynasty. This polychrome porcelain vase is a magnum opus of the civilian kilns of the Kangxi period. The porcelain vase is painted with the theme decoration of the Three Kingdoms - Liu Bei’s marriage story. The rim and shoulder part in elaborate brocade ground and miscellaneous flowers within reserved panels set off the sparse and distinct layout. The painting of children at play on the bottleneck aptly echoes with the theme picture.
