Vase of porcelain, with bulbous body and long neck, around which applied a coiled dragon in full relief. Covered with a lavender-blue glaze, which has lost its gloss, except around the moulded dragon; it has perhaps been rubbed with acid. The base with Yongzheng mark has been skillfully inset into the vase, which is of later date.
