Bold Red Chinese Porcelain Vase with Peony & Calligraphy Motif

This striking red porcelain vase features hand-painted blooming peonies—a traditional symbol of prosperity and honor—set against a vivid, high-gloss backdrop. On the reverse, the golden Chinese characters “花开富贵” (huā kāi fù guì) echo the same wish: “May you blossom with wealth and nobility.”

Likely a contemporary Chinese export piece made for decorative use, this vase is not metal or cloisonné, but high-gloss glazed porcelain with a stickered base. Its bright finish and vibrant florals make it a standout styling piece.
