Double-gourd vase. Hard-paste porcelain painted in green, turquoise, yellow, aubergine and two iron-red enamels outlined in underglaze blue. The lower spherical bulb is decorated with a continuous scene of an official in a red robe standing beside a table with pierced case legs, flanked by attendants, one holding a fan and another a jin, on a balustraded terrace with pierced rockwork. There is a green-ground florette zig-zag border round the waist beneath three small flowerheads. The upper pear-shpaed bulb has five children at play on a similar terrace beneath a green zig-zag band.
