A pale greenish-white jade vase features a flaring mouth, a rounded central bulge, and a wide base. Vertical grooves create a fluted texture along the neck and foot. Small high-relief dragons climb the neck toward the rim, while dragons in low relief decorate the middle section. The translucent stone has a smooth, polished finish.
