Of flattened ovoid form, the shoulders sloping to an everted neck, the lip flat and gilt, the recessed foot surrounded by a protruding oval footrim; the bottle decorated in famille-rose enamels to depict a scene from “Ode on the Red Cliff,” showing Su Shi in a boat with two friends and two attendants, the reverse with Mi Fu writing on a rock face, an attendant nearby, a Jiaqing nian zhi mark in iron-red on the base. Two posts of the boat canopy are carved free of the ground, matching the stopper.
