The exterior displays a pale yellow ground densely populated with black cloud and scroll motifs. The central body is further embellished with stylised polychrome floral blooms, likely lotus, rendered in shades of red, white, and blue, surrounded by green serrated foliage. The neck is accented with several decorative bands including ruyi-head borders and geometric patterns in shades of blue, brown, and white. The rim and foot are finished with gilded metal. The interior of the mouth currently contains a blue foam insert. No maker’s marks were identified from the visible surfaces.
Height: approximately 22.5 cm.
