About MeThe vase is decorated with chrysanthemums and peonies on a turquoise ground.

The peony is known as the flower of ‘wealth and honour’, and was traditionally a token of love and exchanged as a farewell gift.

Chrysanthemums symbolise longevity, wealth and autumn.

The handles on this vase are in the shape of elephant heads.
