  Lip opening, short straight neck, plump shoulders, abdominal upper part is full and lower part is closed, the foot outer part is shallow, the foot circle is cut inside, the foot wall is high outside and low inside, with tin mouth cap. The decoration on the body is left blank. The green line depicts the patterns of bergamot and butterflies. The remaining spaces are filled with blue and white flowers. The green ground is uniform and has different color scales. Because of the uneven thickness of the green ground glaze, the uneven glaze surface is formed. The inner and outer bottoms of the pot and the exposed foot circle all see the traces of rotary blanks. There is no style on the vessels, but the glaze color, shape and decorative patterns should be considered as works of the prosperous Qing Dynasty. The lid is made of tin, with a flat top and a double step bead shaped button. The straight wall is turned outward. There is a short wall rim inside the lid. The inside bottom of the lid is printed with the name of the workshop and the seal of escorting flowers. One of the flower seals is a lotus flower, one is a rose flower, and the right of the two flower seals is the “Inner West China Gate”; On the left is the “gold □ number system”, which should be the name of the business shop in Xihua Gate. This kind of pot is generally called “General pot”
