The pear-shaped body supported on a flared foot, one side carved with a hunter drawing his bow across the back of his galloping horse, the reverse with a triumphant phoenix, surrounded by ornate flowers issuing from the oval surround, the neck surmounted by a phoenix head grasping a pearl in the beak below the oval opening in the top of the head, surmounted by an arched handle with leaf terminals falling to the shoulder, the head and body glazed with a mix of amber, green, blue and cream glaze.
