A very large and handsome Asian, probably Chinese metal vase with teal and blue backgrounds, painted with scenes of a Taoist god and musicians and dancers in a garden. There are added brass decorations including a Foo dog on the top of the lid, and lions with dangling rings projecting out of the cardinal points as handles. The vase is beautifully painted in a variety of colors with tremendous detail to the figures. Size: 32 inches tall. Excellent condition.
