Description
masterfully potted with deep rounded sides gracefully rising from a tapered foot to a gently everted rim, superbly painted in characteristic soft tones of cobalt-blue washes outlined with a darker blue border, the rounded sides of the interior superbly and freely decorated with a continuous undulating scroll forming a rounded lozenge and bearing four lilies, each with five delicate pointed petals, the elegant design further punctuated with leaves issuing from the meandering scroll, all below a double-line border and encircling a central double-line medallion enclosing a floral bloom with overlapping petals, the frieze on the cavetto echoed on the exterior between two double-line borders, the foot skirted with a further double-line band, all thinly veiled overall save for the unglazed footring with a most exquisite unctuous glaze, the base inscribed with a six-character reign mark within a double circle, Japanese double wood box
