Green grey jade. A round bowl with a wide mouth, the rim of the mouth is slightly rolled outward, and the foot is high. There are string lines around the mouth margin and the lower part of the abdomen. On the outer wall, the imperial poem “Jade Bowl”, written in the 21st year of Qianlong’s reign (1756), was added: “The jade bowl goes back and forth, offering sacrifices for closing the Chang. The Duke of Zhao is not treasured, and the son of Han is not. The white haired deer is different, and the giant bream is attracted. The people of heaven worship and show their respect.” It is followed by “Qianlong Imperial Title” and “Dechong Symbol”. The poem was recorded on page 18, page 65, Volume II of Imperial Poems. It is attached with a wooden case decorated with brocade, on which there is an inscription of “A piece of blue jade bowl” and a yellow tag of “Jade poem”. It was originally stored in the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the Forbidden City.
