Bowl. Hard-paste porcelain painted in an enamel palette of iron-red, ochre-yellow, turquoise, opaque blue, two tones of green and black with slight touches of gilding. The steeply rounded sides rest on a high slightly tapered foot and are gently flared towards the heavily lipped rim. The exterior has eight large upright lotus petal-shaped panels alternately enclosing songbirds darting beside pomegranate, prunus and peony trees and pairs of cranes near a peach tree, pheasants on rockwork beneath a magnolia, peacocks near chrysanthemum sprays and phoenix beneath a maple. The border is decorated with stylised overlapping petals in yellow edged in green round the base and a stippled green-ground band with sprays of lotus, chrysanthemum, rose and peony divided by four bird vignettes round the rim. The interior has a central scene of two butterflies hovering above a flowering iron-red tree peony and the rim is encircled by a border comprised of three different brightly coloured diaper patterns interspersed with six floral vignettes.
