This unusual pair of bough pots is richly decorated, with each vessel flanked by a pair of Yinglong—powerful winged dragons from Chinese mythology. All four sides are adorned with detailed scenes of court ladies engaged in elegant pursuits, set against a delicately incised sgraffito ground, suggesting an evolution from designs originating in the early 18th century. These figural panels are separated by borders of lush flora and foliate motifs, which wrap around the upper section of each pot. The pieces are crowned by finely detailed covers, each pierced with five carefully placed drill holes.
