Carved in relief round the sides are eight panels with sprays of peach and pomegranate alternating with Chinese characters; above the foot is a border of broad leaves. On the cover the same four characters are incised and reserved in unglazed biscuit, burnt orange-red, with 'cash' pattern and quatrefoil panels in the glazed areas between.
