Wine Pot and Cover. Hard-paste porcelain painted on the biscuit in yellow, turquoise, green, pale aubergine and blue enamels with details in black. The baluster body is of hexagonal section, decorated on each of the six sides with a raised petal-shaped panel pierced to reveal the unglazed body beneath. The panels are arranged in two groups of three, depicting the 'Three Friends', pine, prunus and bamboo, picked out in yellow, blue aubergine and green and reserved against the pale yellow ground strewn with floral sprigs and butterflies. There is a band of moulded upright petals in green and aubergine springing from a green-ground zig-zag border round the base. The loop handle is modelled as a yellow fish with a green dorsal and tail fins, and is set opposite the yellow hexagonal spout issuing from a green dragon's head. The upright neck has black flowerheads on a green and black fish-roe diaper ground. The hexagonal domed cover is pierced with prunus branches in green, blue and aubergine round the prunus flowerhead knop.
