  Round mouth, straight neck, sloping shoulders, large abdomen, and slightly curled feet. The junction of neck and shoulder, as well as the junction of shoulder and abdomen, all protrude around a thin ridge, which clearly distinguishes the whole organ into three parts: neck, shoulder and abdomen. The appearance is like a third order cake formed by overlapping the three parts. The whole utensil is covered with transparent glaze, the glaze color is blue, the outer wall is patterned with printed patterns, and the lower part is carved with dark flowers. The neck is a banana leaf, the shoulders are decorated with Kui dragon patterns, and the belly is decorated with geometric patterns between Ruyi cloud heads. The foot margin is exposed in a circle, and the foot is full of glaze. The center underglaze blue and white script “made in the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty” is in regular script with two lines and six characters.
