 The bowl has a shallow incised rim with a ten-petaled flower ring. The outer surface is decorated with a design of a taihoishi stone with a plum tree on the right and a peony and bird on the left. The bottom of the bowl is painted in underglaze blue. The inside of the bowl is divided into ten sections by line drawing in underglaze blue, and the inside is decorated with alternating phoenixes with flowers and narcissus-like floral motifs. The inscription “Made in the year of the dawn of the Taimei dynasty” is written in underglaze blue within a single circle on the base, making this piece a rare example of its kind.
