Jar and cover. Hard-paste porcelain painted in a rich variety of enamels of brilliant tones, two greens, pink, blue, yellow, iron-red, turquoise, aubergine, black and white. The heavily potted baluster body is decorated with a continuous garden scene showing two peacocks near an outcrop of pierced blue rockwork surrounded by huge sprays of flowering tree peony, pomegranate and magnolia trees, enclosed by an ornamental balustrade in blue and white enamel. The reserve has a pink and green bird perched on a branch of tree peony gazing up a its mate in flight above, with three winged insects. The shoulders are encircled by an elaborate border of pendent lappets alternately coloured blue and iron-red and reserved with white foliate scrolls and pink and gilt flowerheards. The short neck has a lipped rim painted with two floral clusters. The high domed cover is encircled round the everted rim by a pale green brocade-diaper border reserved with iron-red flowerheads and decorated on the top with ruyi-shaped lappets of turquoise and trellis-diaper divided by pale pink peony studded panels encircling the knop, modelled as a large seated Buddhist lion.
