The rounded sides of the bowl rise to a strongly flared rim. The exterior is incised with a pair of dragons, each in pursuit of a ‘flaming pearl’ over which a cream glaze has been applied. The exterior is further decorated with a camellia and a rose spray, each with numerous blooms and leafy branches painted in brown outlines over the glaze, separated by butterflies and highlighted in tones of yellow, green and aubergine. The interior is covered with a cream glaze and left undecorated while the base is inscribed with underglazed-blue regin mark.
