This vase is in form of cylindrical form with flat base and tall waisted neck,
finely painted around the exterior in rich cobalt-blue tones with a court lady dancing, a body and old lady watching, all standing within a fenced garden of rocks and plants, divided by swirling mist and with mist engulfed mountains in the distance,
between incised lines at the base and shoulder, the neck with a pendent stiff leaf band.
