However, in close examination, the vase displays the characteristics of high quality Chinese Ox Red porcelain. Its surfaces are smooth and shines of the underglaze in display are superb in quality. Its mouth is located in the side of the vase, which identifies that these types of flower vases were used to tuck the freshly cut one or two stems of flowers. This is a cultural display technique of the Chinese or Japanese flower vase.
