yellow-ground jar and cover

The slightly flattened baluster-shaped jar finely enamelled on the
exterior with a scarf knotted tightly around the body, one side of the
scarf embroidered with pairs of fanciful insects forming medallions

bordered with blue, the twisting movement of the scarf revealing the
other side with dragon and fire scroll medallions on a delicate pale
green ground, the body of the jar with peony and lotus flowers and
buds issuing from foliate scrolls on a bright yellow ground beneath
lappets each enclosing a ruyi-head on the neck, the underside with the
four characters of the mark split between two overlapping blue circles,
within a border of daisy blossoms, the cover with four peony blossoms
alternating with four fritillaries encircling the gilt finial.
