Porcelain decorators painted it with a dragon on both sides chasing a flaming pearl among clouds using underglaze copper-red. Originally the bowl would have had a matching shallow slightly domed cover and looked like a box. The bowl is marked inside with a six-character Xuande reign mark in a double ring.
