The body is boldly decorated with three shaped panels of chrysanthemum in a vase in front of a fence and reserved on a ground of narrow vertical panels painted with various diaper and scroll patterns. The footring is painted with a whorl pattern and a band of gilt scroll around the rim. The lobed cover, with rounded shoulders is similarly decorated with three shaped panels of chrysanthemum, a band of gilt scroll around the cover and a large knop. The rounded knop is painted with cloud scrolls in underglaze blue, iron-red and gilding, and a band of key pattern. Around the base is a zig-zag pattern and flower heads in iron-red and gilding. The interior has an undecorated white glaze.
