An elegant two-handled Chinese rock crystal vase of an amphora shape. The vase stands on a detachable pedestal with four short feet. This is a fine example of rock-crystal carving, in which the clarity and brilliance of the stone is enhanced by the skills of the artisan in producing such a delicate and balanced shape. The vase was carved from a single block of rock crystal.
