The delicate vase is shaped with a small-bore mouth, long straight neck and a sleek bulbous body. The four Chinese characters “Sun”, “Moon”, “Mountain” and “River” are hand-carved into the upper portion of the vase before it is fired, surrounding with the same four letters in different style carved with the shadow carving technique.

“Sun”, “Moon”, “Mountain” and “River” are very important nature elements that would represent a country, showing the enormous vigor of the owner, longing for the power and compassion.
