This vase was once part of the Dramair Collection and is included in “Japanese Ceramics” by Soame Jenyns. It may be one of the oldest pieces of colored porcelain of the 17th century that was exported to Europe. The body is decorated with a peony with branches spreading out with rough brush strokes, and two long-tailed birds perched on the branches. The peony flowers are painted in red and blue as in Figure 40. The shape of this agarwood vase is almost unprecedented in the agarwood vase format, and the bottom is not shaped like a bamboo joint.
