Fiziksel açıklama
Bottle of fritware, painted in cobalt blue and outlined in black under a clear glaze. Two elongated floral sprays with long crossed leaves decorate the tall neck which ends in a small vase shape. A band of reciprocal leaves sits on the shoulder above a band of linked ruyi heads. Five large palmettes perhaps recalling some heraldic design, decorate the body. Each contains an artemesia leaf, a pair of tassels and ribbons, and a ruyi head. Pairs of triangular ruyi heads and their finials fill the intervals. Overlapping round panels line the lower part of the tall bottle. There is a tendency for the cobalt to run, the glaze falls short of the foot ring and there is no mark.
