 This flat bowl with a sword-shaped rim is overlaid with a dragon and lion design on the prospective side and a peony design on the side with unrestrained brushwork. The overglaze painting of flowers in red and yellow or red and blue is characteristic of this type of work. There are four marks inside the base, and simple arabesques are painted on two sides of the exterior.
