The vessel is superbly modelled as a mandarin duck seated on a spreading pedestal base, with a crest on the head and a curling feathery tail at the back. The plumage is meticulously detailed, the wing feathers picked out in green, cream and amber glazes, the rest of the body incised and covered with a rich amber glaze. The interior of the vessel is applied with a light caramel-toned glaze. The unglazed foot reveals the pale buff body.
