Bottle of fritware, with pear-shaped body, elongated neck with broken top mounted with brass, painted in blue and outlined with black under a clear glaze. Five jewelled strings reach down the neck in panels to a band of ornate linked lappets. Two groups of three deer on a mound overlooked by a three-tailed phoenix, are separated by two bunches of flowers. Groups of lines and some hatching, sketchy balustrades with lotus finials, small cluster of round flowers, the odd dots complete the decoration. A brisk band of lotus panels with dividers overlooks the base ring. Imitation Chinese square mark in black.
