A decorative vase with the image of a chrysanthemum is a fine example of Chinese bronze-casting plastic. Chrysanthemum has always been a favorite flower of the Chinese, because it continues to bloom until late autumn, when all other plants have already faded. This flower symbolizes autumn, as well as cheerfulness before the coming bad weather, solitude. This flower is a symbol of sublime loneliness.
