1. Revolving vase with swimming fish in cobalt blue glaze

This vase has a long neck, broad shoulders, and a short ring foot. The shoulders of the vessel are decorated with four ring-shaped loops. The belly of the vase is divided into inner and outer layers. The inner layer is coated with light lake-green glaze.

2. Coupled Vase with Flower-and-Bird Panels in Fencai Rose Enamels

The vase looks like two vases stuck together. It's round and flat, and has two vases on the outside.

3. Six Conjoined Vases in Tea Dust Glaze

This vessel has five vases of the same shape and size circling around a central main vase, forming a single complete vase. The interior of the six vases is joined together, with only the slender necks helping to exaggerate their individuality.

4. Bowl with Indian lotus Design on a Pink Brocade Ground

This bowl has a flaring rim and a deep, curving body. It is covered with a light pink glaze, on top of which are engraved patterns of plants and geometric designs.

5. Porcelain Vase Decorated in Fencai Enamels against a Yellow Ground, with Rotating Interior and Openwork Eight Trigram and Ju-i Motifs

This vase is special because it has a revolving center and an interlocking top and bottom. The design is a combination of engraving and overall surface patterning, which makes it quite complex.
