The ovoid body is decorated with two molded and painted shishi (foo dogs) — one golden-green, one brown-gray — cavorting among an all-over field of peonies, chrysanthemums, and asters in turquoise, pink, lavender, and white, with ruyi cloud scrolls throughout. A band of upright lotus petals in turquoise and yellow encircles the base; the shoulder and lid carry a geometric diaper border in blue and pink on white. The domed lid repeats the black-ground floral composition.
