Jar and cover. Hard-paste porcelain painted in green, yellow, black and bright iron-red enamels and underglaze blue. The baluster body is decorated with a dense pattern of three Buddhist Lions, clambering amongst meandering branches of peony bearing numerous leaves. The shoulders are encircled by a narrow, freely painted 'cracked ice' border in underglaze blue beneath the short upright neck with lipped rim which is encircled by a band of upright pointed leaves alternately coloured red, blue and green. The low, domed cover has a conical knop and is surrounded by an iron-red peony scroll bearing three red blooms among green leaves. All between double line borders in underglaze blue.
