Bottle. Hard-paste porcelain decorated underglaze with a powder-blue ground and painted in famille verte enamels, and gilding. The elegant pear-shaped body is surmounted by a tall cylindrical neck slightly flared towards the rim. The mottled bright blue ground is decorated with three lobed quatrefoil panels, one enclosing members of the 'Hundred Antiques' including a hare on an artemesia leaf, a flanged vase with peacock feathers, a ruyi sceptre, a conch shell, censers and a bundle of scrolls, and the other two with delicate flowering sprays of chrysanthemum, lily, dianthus and long grasses intertwined and windswept, all picked out in bright famille verte enamels. A key-fret border beneath an upright ruyi-head band in gilding at the base of the neck and a matching pendent ruyi-head band at the rim. The interior and base are white of yellowish-brown tone.
