    With high sloping shoulders and tapering sides below a short, straight neck, the tall, heavily potted vase is freely carved around the exterior with leafy chrysanthemum sprays. The whole is covered in a glaze of rich olive-green suffused with crackles.

    The dish has shallow fluted sides rising from a sturdy foot ring to an everted barbed rim. The centre of the interior is incised with a lotus spray below a carved row of lotus sprays on the well. The exterior is similarly carved and the whole is covered by a thick, rich olive-green glaze except for an irregularly shaped ring within the base.
    Vase: 10¼ in. (26 cm.) diam., box, wood stand
