Delicately potted with gently rounded sides and scalloped rim,the interior finely painted with a central scene of a pair of mandarin ducks swimming beneath a tall cluster of elegantly bending lotus blooms and paddies rising from a lightly rippling pond,all encircled by a band of peony flowers to the well and a border of cresting waves to the rim,the exterior decorated with lotus blooms borne on meandering leafy stem.
