Bottle vase. Hard-paste porcelain with a powder-blue ground, and gilding. The elegantly potted, spherical body resting on a low straight foot and tapering at the shoulders to a tall slender cylindrical neck. The heavily motttled, dark blue ground is overlaid with gilded decoration, now largely faded; the body with three medallions enclosing respectively a pair of deer beneath a pine tree, a group of Precious Objects including ding-shaped and jue-shaped censers and a carp rising from swirling waves, in reserve on an ornate gilded ground of dense chrysanthemum scrollwork with blooms and foliage reserved in powder blue. There is a broad band of thin vertical stripes around the base and a narrow key-fret border around the shoulders. The neck is freely painted with a chilong dragon in flight between broad bands of cell-diaper. The base and interior are white.
