chrysanthemum issuing from rockwork, the other side with a trunk of
blossoming prunus with branches spreading over the rounded spout
opposite the handle formed as a single-horned mythical beast, the
interior expertly hollowed and gently polished, the cover carved with
sprays of flowering prunus and narcissus buds on leaves beneath the
knop with four rows of radiating petals.
