  Round mouth, short neck, short tubular body, slightly bulging belly, hooped feet, with lid. The whole vessel is decorated with underglaze cobalt blue. The top is decorated with chrysanthemums, and the side wall is painted with curly flowers. The design of the decorative pattern on the outer wall of the utensil is simple and elegant. On the white outer wall, folding flowers and fruits are painted at equal intervals. The folding flowers and fruits are scattered up and down, adding to the changes in layout. The neck is decorated with a circle of Ruyi cloud head pattern, and the outer wall is painted with a circle of deformed lotus petal pattern near the bottom. There are inverted flowers in the lotus petal. The cobalt blue hair color of the whole ware has many thick deposits or slightly dry spots, which is exactly the effect of imitating the hair color of Yongle blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. The foot margin is exposed for one circle, and the foot underglaze blue and white book “made in the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty” is a double line six character regular script with double circles.
