The basin is well potted with deep, slightly tapered sides rising to a flared rim, and finely painted in brilliant cobalt-blue with extensive ‘heaping and piling’ on the flat base of the interior with a central florette enclosed within a roundel from which radiates six ruyi-shaped petals divided by foliate sprigs, all within a classic-scroll border. The steep well is encircled by a composite floral scroll bearing six blossoms, including lotus, gardenia, chrysanthemum, camellia, peony and hibiscus, the undulating stem with leaves corresponding to each flower, all below a band of crashing waves at the rim. The exterior is similarly painted with a composite floral scroll bearing eight blossoms, all within double-line borders and below detached floral sprays. The unglazed base reveals the smooth white ware with a light speckling of orange tone.
