This white porcelain vessel features a rounded ovoid body and short, straight neck. The surface is decorated in underglaze blue and overglaze enamels. Gnarled blue branches with pine clusters, red blossoms, and yellow flowers dominate the central composition. Above, bands of blue geometric patterns and a red scalloped border ornament the shoulder. Near the base, a red zigzag border sits below tufts of grass against the milky ground.
