Barrel type, slightly large mouth and slightly closed bottom. The edge of the mouth is carved with cloud patterns, and the lower patterns are removed layer by layer, forming a high relief effect.

The lush forests and bamboo trees, the water flow and the pavilions and corridors are all clearly explained.

On the rock wall of the outer wall, the official script “The Orchid Pavilion Scenery” is engraved in the shade, and the “Qiao Lin Zuo” style and the “wood” and “wood” bead seals are engraved in the bottom
