A Rare Chinese Carved Blue and White Hu-form Vase with Twin Elephant Handles The vase is vividly painted with a lotus scroll band and a composite floral scroll, above cresting waves and below overlapping stylised plantain leaves around the waisted neck, all divided by raised double-moulded line borders. The shoulder is set with a pair of integral animal-mask ring handles in relief, the spreading foot encircled by stiff lappets, and the mouth rim with a narrow band of waves.H:26CM W:20CM
