Jar. Hard-paste porcelain decorated in underglaze blue, and green, yellow, turquoise, black and two iron-red enamels. The shouldered, baluster body is tapered towards the flat, unglazed base with a rounded edge. The sides are decorated with a large panel showing a deity riding on the back of a kylin flanked by numerous attendants waving banners and carrying ritual objects, all standing on billowing clouds which are washed in pale iron-red. The scene is interrupted by a smaller vertical panel enclosing a beaker-shaped vase of lotus. There is an iron-red splash border round the base and a bold lotus meander round the shoulders beneath a further narrow iron-red splash band. The short flared neck has a collar of pendent ruyi-heads beneath the brown-edged rim. All between line borders in underglaze blue.
