superbly potted with a generous well-rounded ovoid body gently rising from a tapering foot to a short waisted neck and lipped mouth, brilliantly painted in vibrant tones of cobalt blue with a composite floral scroll of large lotus blooms borne on an undulating leafy stem, between a band of lappets above the foot and a collar of ruyi-heads at the shoulder, surmounted by a key-fret border and a classic scroll, the base inscribed with a six-character seal mark
