  This dish has narrow mouth, shallow arc wall and short circle foot. The inside of the utensil is plain without lines, and the outer wall of the utensil is painted with pink crabapple and white magnolia. On the other side of the outer wall, there is a poem written in ink, “The shadow turns round and round, and the fragrance contains a thin wind”. The poem is preceded by “beautiful woman”, and behind it are three red ink seals, “Bixia” and “Xuying”. The bottom of the utensil is provided with two lines of blue Song typeface made in Yongzheng year. Because the Jade Hall is the elegant name of the Imperial Academy, and “Tang” and “Tang” are homonymous, the combination has the auspicious implication of “Jade Hall is rich and noble”.
