Potted in a Zun shaped vase, thick and large, globular body, slighty oval body, heavy on belly, rounded shoulder concealing gracefully to a prominent cylindrical neck, with wide flaring open lip, two ring handles emerging and flanked on the shoulder, raised with short splayed foot base rim and slightly concave. The exterior decorated with hand-painting in clean white under glazed base color which contrast against the cobalt blue fine color, depicted of Hundred Deer motif is referring to a long career in civil service, since the Chinese word lu for deer is a homophone for emolument or civil service salary. The hundred Bai deer motif therefore represent the ultimate success in Imperial China scholarly success and a long career in government service. The idea conveyed in the Hundred Deer design is a wish for great wealth and success. Jars decorated with the Hundred Deer motif can be more readily found painted in the wucai enamels. The deer symbolizes immortality and is the companion of Shoulao, the God of Longevity, while the inclusion of peaches and lingzhi fungus in the decoration is often a further symbolic of longevity.
