Fiziksel açıklama
Bottle painted in three blues. There is a vase-head at the top of the neck with a slightly broken flange. Overlapping scales decorate its small body. A band of striped panels divides it from the main neck and its two sparse chrysanthemum sprays. A row of lappets marks the shoulder. The body of the flattened bottle is painted in two parts. On one side trees, dwellings and hillocks surround two seated figures wearing hats, the front one with bare legs. On the other side a tiered elongated landscape includes rocks, more huts, trees and on one side part of a Transitional cloud. Both sides include a moon shape. A band of separate panels concludes the scenery above the base ring with a border of sharp leaf tips.
