A flared white porcelain bowl features a large, perforated dark blue rock at its center. To either side, orange-red blossoms with delicate outlines sprout from stylized blue branches, accompanied by thin green bamboo leaves. Painted in underglaze blue and enamel, these motifs wrap around the exterior of the rounded body. The vessel tapers from a wide rim to a small, raised circular base, leaving much of the smooth white surface visible.
