A dark blue ceramic vessel features a rounded body and an arched handle. Intricate gold scrollwork frames a white panel containing three colorful birds among green foliage. A large bird with an orange head and long tail stands at the center. To the right, a pink and blue bird rests on grass, while a pink and yellow bird perches on a branch to the left.
