Dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted in bright enamel colours, pink, iron-red, aubergine, two greens, yellow, turquoise, blue, white and black. The well rounded sides spring from a slightly countersunk base and rise to a broad everted rim. The interior is decorated with a large central medallion showing an official carrying an ornamental lantern walking along a causeway striped in turquoise and dark pink, and acompanied by two maidens. The causeway is flanked by rockwork picked out in a 'famille verte' palette of turquoise, blue, green, and aubergine outlined in black, and brightly coloured prunus and tree peony. The roof of a palace is seen in the distance behind a high wall shrouded in bright pink clouds. The well has two sprays of pink peony alternating with two branches of white prunus. The rim has alternating turquoise and pink diapers decorated with large sprays of peony, chrysanthemum and lotus and reserved with four vignettes alternately enclosing pairs of crabs and single crayfish among waterweeds. The underside has four sprigs of lingzhi fungus in iron-red.
