Jardinière. Hard-paste porcelain painted in green, yellow, iron-red, aubergine, turquoise and black enamels. Of lobed quatrefoil section, the upright sides are slightly tapered towards the countersunk base which is smeared with a colourless glaze within the raised unglazed footrim. The four lobes are decorated alternately with rectangular panels of trellis and fret diaper in green and yellow overglaze enamels, centred with slightly recessed upright petal-shaped panels respectively enclosing the Flowers of the Four Seasons, prunus, peony, chrysanthemum and lotus, picked out in iron-red, aubergine, green, turquoise, yellow and cream over the glaze, within yellow and aubergine raised line borders. There is a biscuit border of pendent green triangles on a yellow ground round the base and a green-ground black classic scroll band encircling the outer edge of the everted rim. The top of the rim is decorated with a pale yellow ground lotus scroll on the biscuit, the blooms alternately in aubergine and turquoise flanked by green foliate scrolls within a green line border. The interior is left entirely in the biscuit except for a border round the inner rim of peaches, pomegranates, persimmons and one other fruit, one in each lobe, picked out in green, yellow and turquoise on a smeared brownish ground.
