Bamboo is a time-honored Chinese symbol, iconic of strength and resilience. Your other vase has decoration of the attributes of the Eight Immortals of Daoism, as follows:

The bamboo tube and castanets of Zhang Guolao (seen in middle image)

The fan of Zhongli Quan (shoulder of vase in top image)

The double gourd & crutch of Li Tieguai (apparently at bottom of top image)

The sword of Lu Dongbin

The lotus pod of He Xiangu

The flute of Han Xiangzi

The castanets of Cao Guojiu

The basket of peaches or flowers of Lan Caihe

Check out the link for further info on the immortals.

Best regards,

Bill H.
