Look closer at the macro photos, though, and the white zones aren't empty: they carry their own scatter of fine reddish-brown pinpoints, cinnabar caught inside the cream field itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is a genuine vintage dzi bead, hand-carved and etched in Taiwan during the 1980s. The ground is a true black, confirmed consistently across all white-background rotation photos. Against it, the motif lines are rendered in bright white rather than the warmer cream-white seen on many other pieces in this collection — a notably cool, high-contrast pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bead is a barrel form, drilled through the centre. Turn it, and the white line resolves into a Treasure Vase shape: a rounded vessel body sitting on a narrow stem base, the classic form associated with this motif. The curved connecting lines that run between vase repeats give the whole design a flowing, continuous quality rather than a segmented one. The warm brown translucent gloss visible at the drilled end supports natural agate as the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNo cracks are visible anywhere on this bead in these photos. Under macro magnification (documented in the close-up photos), individual reddish-brown to orange-brown cinnabar inclusions — 硃砂 (zhūshā), mercuric sulfide — are visible scattered within the white cream zones surrounding the vase motif, concentrated rather than evenly spread across the whole surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe Treasure Vase Motif\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Treasure Vase motif is traditionally believed to bring prosperity to its wearer. It is sometimes read as the Medicine Vase instead, associated with good health. On this bead, the vase repeats around the bead's circumference, connected by flowing white lines rather than sitting as isolated, separated units — giving the motif a sense of continuous movement as the bead turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treasure Vase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37.4mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.9mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage — Taiwan, 1980s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e No cracks visible\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cinnabar inclusions confirmed via macro photography, cream-zone focused scattered distribution (Tier 3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-092224-TrVBS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/taiwan-dzi\"\u003eTaiwan Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/bloodspot-dzi\"\u003eBloodspot Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/new-dzi\"\u003eNew \u0026amp; Vintage Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eLearn more about dzi bead history and symbolism: \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/what-are-dzi-beads\"\u003eWhat Are Dzi Beads?\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/what-makes-a-dzi-bead-authentic\"\u003eWhat Makes a Dzi Bead Authentic?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA genuine piece of 1980s Taiwanese dzi craftsmanship with documented bloodspot inclusions, ready for its next owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e✅ Authenticity Guaranteed | ✅ 30-Day Returns | ✅ Worldwide Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAll photos are of the exact bead you will receive — unretouched, including macro detail of the bloodspot inclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHashtags:\u003c\/strong\u003e #DziBead #VintageDzi #TreasureVaseDzi #TaiwanDzi #AgateDzi #TibetanDzi #DziBeadCollector #AncientDziShop #DziJewelry #HandCarvedAgate #DziAmulet #BuddhistBead #Bloodspots #Cinnabar #AuthenticDzi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45824249233574,"sku":"","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/Vintage-Bloodspot-TreasureVase_TaD-V-B-TrV-092224_1_fd1d3590-0098-4cc8-b812-dca4c59ba131.jpg?v=1783150230","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/vintage-treasure-vase-motif-dzi-bead-bloodspots-v-092224-trvbs","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
