Exquisitely potted, of ten-lobed mallow shape with deep rounded sides rising from a correspondingly shaped foot to a flared rim, the exterior strikingly decorated in different washes of cobalt with a dense and dynamic scene depicting four fishes, a carp, mandarin fish and two kinds of bream, swimming amidst water plants, the fishes with dark blue outlines and finely detailed with hatching and stippling, rendered interrupted by clumps of lotus blooms and leaves, the latter with white veins precisely picked out by incision through the washes to the porcelain body, the larger leaves further rendered with frayed edges accentuated with dark heaping and piling, the interior similarly painted with a double-line medallion enclosing a carp and mandarin fish dynamically swimming amidst clumps of lotus and undulating water weeds, the base inscribed with a six-character reign mark within a double circle.
