Of cylindrical form with a gently flared mouth and a neatly finished foot ring, finely painted in underglaze cobalt blue with a continuous mountainous river landscape. Small dwellings are scattered among varied trees, while a small bridge beneath a majestic weeping willow crosses the calm waters. Beyond, a distant mountain range unfolds beneath a night sky with a crescent moon and stars. Beneath the main decoration runs a delicate raised line, below which is a border of dotted motifs. The tapering foot rim is decorated with a stylised zigzag pattern. The recessed base is glazed and bears a double circle in underglaze cobalt blue.
