Finely potted with rounded sides rising to a slightly flared rim, the exterior is incised and glazed in bright green against a yellow-ground with eight boys dancing and playing musical instruments in a terraced garden between two pine trees, between a lappet border above the foot and a stylized floral band beneath the rim. The interior is also glazed yellow.

Ayers in Chinese Ceramics, The Koger Collection, London and New York, 1985, no. 121; and in Chinese Ceramics in the Baur Collection, Geneva, 1999, vol. 2, pl. 203.

For a bowl of this type, with the alternate border, see the example in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum illustrated by R. Kerr, Chinese Ceramics, Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, London, 1986, on the front cover.
