A massive heavily potted famille verte baluster shaped vase raised on a stepped foot decorated with squared lozenges depicting alternating floral and bird displays and the '100 antiques' motif against a diaper pattern ground. On the shoulder is a diapered border with four lozenges depicting four of eight Buddhist emblems.  On the interior of the widely flaring mouth are four more emblems. The base of the vase is glazed white and the foot rim is unglazed revealing the biscuit. The use of overglazed cobalt blue pigment on this vase is probably an early attempt as it has burned black in many places allowing the probable dating of the vase to the early years of the reign.
