Jar of 'potiche' form, with tapering sides slackening towards the foot, and with short cylindrical neck rolled at the lip. Painted in red, green, turquoise, yellow and black. The body largely occupied by an extended scenes of a process consisting of five persons on horse-back, attended by canopy-bearers and servants carrying books, scrolls, and a (?) hat on a dish. At the head are two men on foot with staves. They are arriving at the steps of a pavilion which is surrounded by trees and a park with deer; and on the terrace they are waited by a venerable figure attended by a boy. The scene is bordered by friezes of key-fret patterns. On the shoulder is a band with phoenix and leaf scroll, in which are also depicted eight medallions of the 'Eight Trigrams'. Above this is a classic scroll frieze, and the decoration is concluded by a scrolling band with fire-petalled flowers on the neck. Three is also a border of peony sprays reserved on a red ground above the foot.
