Jar and cover. Hard-paste porcelain painted in underglaze blue and iron-red, yellow, two green, turquoise and aubergine enamels enhanced with gilding. The jar is of baluster form and has wide rounded shoulders tapered towards the countersunk base. The sides are decorated in doucai style with a wide frieze of intricate lotus scrollwork; the four large blooms are alternately coloured iron-red and yellow and are flanked by winding thin foliate scrolls bearing multi-coloured buds. There is a border of upright lotus petal panels enclosing florettes round the base. The shoulders have a composite florette border between a band of pendent leaves enclosing angular scrollwork and a border of 'S'-shaped key-fret scrolls. The shoulders are set with two lion mask handles in high relief, painted in iron-red with green manes, suspending gilded rings. The short flared neck has a band of ruyi-heads pendent from the gilt-edged rim. The small domed cover has a border of matching composite floral scrollwork and a collar of gilt ruyi-heads around the spherical knop. The base and interior are glazed in turquoise.
