  This piece has a wide mouth, a shallow wall and a short circle. The inside of the utensil is plain without lines. One side of the outer wall is painted with red crabapple and white hydrangea, and the other side is inscribed with a poem in ink, “reflecting the water but doubting to ride the warm waves. The cliff is therefore planted by relying on clouds.” Two lines are from the couplet of seven character poems of Shen Shixing’s Peach Blossom in the Ming Dynasty. There are three red seals in front of the poem, namely, “Jiali”, and behind it, “Cuipu” (in white) and “Xiaying”. The bottom of the utensil is provided with two lines of blue Song typeface made in Yongzheng year.
