Fiziksel açıklama
Vase of fritware, with five necks, painted in cobalt blue under a clear glaze. The four panels on the larger central neck have neatly framed flowers on stalks. The neck flairs out towards the rim which has an inner band of large dots. Circular ridges are visible lowers down inside the neck. A white band marks the start of the shoulder and the ring of ruyi heads above four sketchy panels between the smaller necks. These are painted with rows of arrows and strange scribbles on their flange. Eleven panels decorate part of the body. They enclose alternating sketches of flowers and figures below which fine lines join together a series of scattered dots. Striped and plain panels enhance the height of the flaring foot the base of which is flat, unglazed and has no mark.
