of flattened baluster form, the ovoid form rising to a waisted neck and everted rim, set to either side with finely articulated dragon-head loop handles, a ruyi band encircling the shoulder, repeated at the base above a keyfret border, the resin variegated ochre, brown and orange colors, opaque with areas of bright translucence
