Vase, tall slender stem swelling into a bulb in the middle, flaring at the mouth and slightly expanding at the base. Porcelain with designs carved in low relief and painted with enamel colours in the famille verte palette. On the neck is a band of crested waves from which a fish is leaping on one side and above which a dragon is soaring on the other in pursuit of a pearl. On the bulb are two archaic dragons holding branches of lingzhi fungus. On the lower part are leaf-shaped panels decorated with bronze patterns (ogre heads and key frets) with plantain leaves between, and above and below the bulb are narrow bands of floral brocade pattern in a green ground, bordered by aubergine.
