The inside is inlaid with a pair of cranes with entwined necks forming a medallion, enclosed by a youi-head border and surrounded by six cranes in flight among clouds and a classic-scroll rim border, all inlaid in white with a few details in black slip. The outside is decorated with four peony-spray medallions within a broad border of scrollwork which is reserved against a background of inlaid black slip, enclosed between a classic-scroll rim border and a petal border below.
