the baluster body rising from a spreading foot to a tall broad trumpet neck with flaring rim, painted in bold cobalt tones with a mountainous riverside landscape with cabins and pavilions surrounded by old trees and soaring birds, a scholar on horseback traveling by the river followed by an attendant and a third figure crossing the bridge, additional scholars resting near pavilions tucked into the landscape, the shoulder with a band of bamboo between geometric lappet bands, the landscape motif repeated at the neck, the base with an apocryphal six-character Chenghua mark in underglaze blue within a double circle
