The abdomen of the rouleau vase is adorned with auspicious clouds, mountains, and a majestic ancient pine tree. Two elderly men dressed in robes and hats are playing chess under the tree, while several pedestrians have stopped to watch. These elderly figures are elegant and have flowing beards, dressed in quaint attire, giving the impression of wise and refined scholars. The vivid and lifelike scene is brightly colored, with each character rendered in exquisite detail, exemplifying the exceptional level of qing dynasty porcelain art. The rouleau vase is large, elegant, and exquisite in shape, with a delicate texture and superb craftsmanship. Its body is cylindrical, with a flared mouth, a short straight neck, and rounded shoulders, while the long belly constitutes the main body of the vase. The vase is supported by a circular foot or a flat, two-tiered base, ensuring stability.
