 This is a variant of the so-called “Kendi-shaped” water pouring vessel, similar to a water pouring vessel with a floating peony design in overglaze enamels, a water pouring vessel with a floating mound design in overglaze enamels, a water pouring vessel with a phoenix design in overglaze enamels, and others. The body, with a lady on its back, is probably in the shape of something, and the left side is used as a spout. The body is painted in red, blue, and green, and the lady’s costume is decorated with patterns of maple leaves and cloisonne enamel all the way down to the back.
 The base is a slightly under-fired white porcelain with rough irregular penetrations around the hem.
