 The frame of this vase is in the shape of an eight-sided ridge, and the rim is decorated with trees and birds, with the theme of chrysanthemums and autumn flowers depicted in fine detail in a unique style commonly known as “hyakka-te. The front and sides depict an autumnal scene. The characteristic feature of this type of motifs is that they are all related to the front. On the reverse side, a peony arabesque with flowers in six directions is drawn in black lines and painted in purple, dark blue, and green overglaze enamels. On the inside of the stand, there is an inscription in black and green on a double circle of kakufuku, although it is not clearly legible.
