Kangxi Six-Characters Mark
Delicately potted and surmounted on a short foot，the steep sides rising towards a gently everted rim，the exterior intricately painted with an early spring scene and design of apricot，representing the second month，February. The reverse inscribed with a ten-character poem in ‘kaishu’，and a seal mark，the base inscribed in underglaze-blue with a six-character mark within double circles.
‘The fragrance blends with the flavour of evening rain.
The beautiful colour stands out in clear weather like in mist.’
