When Li Younan saw that national treasure, even he couldn't help but feel regretful.
This revolving vase from the Qianlong period, formally known as the Fencai Gilded Revolving Landscape and Figures Vase.
The vase is composed of three parts: an outer vase, an inner vase, and a base. The outer vase is intricately carved with openwork landscape and pavilion patterns, and the inner vase features painted stories with figures in pastel colors, just like the replicas Li Younan had seen during his exams.
The inner screen can rotate, depicting dynamic scenes, while the base is carved with entwined lotus patterns and inlaid with gemstones.
No wonder it's considered a national treasure-level artifact that combines ceramics, painting, and carving techniques.
However, this national treasure is also severely damaged.
