Robustly potted with a pear-shaped body rising from a short spreading foot to a short waisted flaring neck flanked by a pair of archaistic scroll handles,painted around the exterior in rich cobalt-blue tones with the Eight Daoist Immortals holding their respective attributes and standing on stylised swirling clouds above frothing waves around the base with sprouting lingzhi and jagged rockwork issuing from the tempestuous waters.
