Crafted entirely from sturdy paper mache, this rounded vessel is a testament to the expressive artistry and unique design spirit of Northern China or Mongolia.

Delicate roses and other blossoms dance across its surface in a lush palette of reds, pinks, and yellows, interspersed with green leaves. This decorative style, whether achieved through meticulous hand-painting or a form of decoupaged artistry, suggests a delightful fusion of local folk aesthetics with possibly a touch of Western influence, creating a truly unique visual narrative that evokes classic romantic gardens. The continuous floral design lends a joyful and inviting presence.
