The bowl is potted with deep rounded sides supported on a short tapering foot, the exterior delicately incised with a band of elongated lotus petals, below a keyfret band below the mouth rim, the interior with anhua decoration depicting a continous composite floral scroll, supported on a tapered foot ring, all covered with a bluish-white glaze, the underside base bearing the reign mark in underglaze-blue, Japanese wood box.
