The ovoid body gently rising to a waisted neck with a flared mouth and
gilt-decorated rim, the sides painted with a scene of Su Wu the lonely

grass surrounded by rocks and shrubs, against white and pale pink
mottled sgraffito ground incised with blossoms and foliate scrolls,
all supported on a short, neatly-trimmed foot ring, a six-character
Qianlong seal mark in iron-red reserved against the turquoise glaze
covering the foot and inside of the mouth.
