Of baluster shape, with tall body, gently narrowed on the base, raised on slightly splayed foot, the angled shoulder tapered to straight cylindrical neck supporting the banded rim. Two famille rose painting medallions painted on the belly, depicting a life scenes within ancient gated city; reserved against a carved geometrical swastika diaper, with gilt over glaze ground. The shoulder carved with pink, light-blue, and pale-yellow archaic patterns, beneath a carmine-red tropical leaf pattern.

The foot ring base revealed the pale-creme ground with darker firing spots, enclosing the pale turquoise-green underglaze receded central base. The immaculate porcelain body covered with a characteristic silky glaze, pooling on the base slightly veiling the firing mark.
