Bowl. Hard-paste porcelain painted in green, iron-red, blue, yellow, turquoise and aubergine enamels with details in black and gilding. The steeply rounded sides are resting on a high straight foot circled by a key-fret border pencilled in iron-red and rising to a broad everted rim. The exterior is delicately enamelled with four lotus-petal shaped panels outlined in blue springing from a band of ruyi-heads. Three of the ruyi-heads enclose differently coloured kylin and one encloses a leopard, all have trailing gilded flames, and are reserved against a cell-diaper ground painted in green, aubergine and iron-red outlined in black. The rim on the underside is entirely undecorated. The interior rim is decorated with a matching cell-diaper border reserved with four vignettes enclosing ribbon-tied pairs of Emblems. There is a single horned kylin a the centre.
