Superbly potted with deep rounded sides rising from a straight foot to a flared rim, the exterior painted in bold cobalt-blue tones depicting lions frolicking amid the babao playfully chasing beribboned brocade balls, the mythical felines detailed with long-haired manes, bushy tails and powerful limbs, all above overlapping lotus lappets, the interior similarly decorated with a central medallion enclosing waves and rock.
