 This elegant incense container features a beautifully designed five-petaled plum tree. The lid is covered with a cloudy white glaze from the top to the bottom, with bright red paint on the petals and arabesques in gold and silver on a green ground on the sides. The interior is also glazed in white, and the reverse side is clay with the seal of Ninsei stamped on it.
