superbly potted with a flattened ruyi-shaped body, rising from a tall splayed foot moulded with a ruyi-shaped apron, and elegantly sweeping up to a rectangular waisted neck with everted rim, both faces carved in shallow relief within the scrolled ruyi border, depicting a beribboned musical chime (qing) tied on a beaded tassel suspended from a wan symbol, framed by meandering sprays of lotus blooms repeated on the narrow sides, all below stylised bats with outstretched wings around the shoulder and a band of ruyi heads at the rim, surmounted by a domed cover similarly decorated and also moulded with a ruyi-shaped apron, centred by an oval finial carved with a floret, covered overall in a pale sage-green glaze thinning on the raised areas and pooling in the recesses of the carving, the celadon-glazed base incised with a six-character seal mark
