The globular body supported on a pedestal foot and finely carved in low relief with a band of stylized lotus blossoms borne on scrolling leafy vines, surmounted by a tall cylindrical neck, decorated with finger citrons and wisteria, and flanked by a pair of tubular handles, the decoration all set between bands of key-fret and lappets, the surface covered with a sea-form green glaze, pooling in the recessed areas, giving the decoration depth, the base unglazed.
