the deep conical sides rising from a slightly splayed foot to a broad everted rim, finely carved on the interior with a central medallion enclosing a leafy stalk of peach bearing two ripening fruits within a double incised line, the rim decorated with key-fret, the exterior carved with long petal lappets radiating from the foot, all beneath a pale sea-green glaze thinning to white on the carved design and around the rim, save for the base left white and inscribed in underglaze blue with a four-character hall mark shu guang tang zhi within double circles

There are some expected light wear and surface scratches on the interior and a few pinholes in the glaze, but apart from this the bowl is in quite good condition. The actual colour is slightly deeper and a tinge yellower than the catalogue illustration.
