Hard-paste porcelain painted in yellow, green, iron-red, pale blue and black enamels. The cylindrical sides are gently tapered towards the unglazed convex base, and are encircled by a raised band and burnt a speckled rich orange in the firing. The sides of the box are boldly decorated on the exterior with a single fiery dragon pursuing a 'flaming pearl' amongst scattered flame and ruyi-shaped cloud scrolls.
