This bowl is modeled on the style of old red-glazed ware from the Jiajing era, with a six-petal flower design around the rim, and a green band around the rim, and green and purple overglaze enamels on the foot ring. The interior and exterior sides are decorated with yellow, purple, green, and light red designs of elephants and people on a red background. This is one of the representative works of Kibai, and is commonly referred to as Hyakurote. The signature is written in the center of the foot ring, and purple glaze is applied on top, but the glaze has run and the signature is not clear.
