A tall, white porcelain beaker flares slightly to a chipped rim from a narrow base. Colorful enamel decorations feature an arched bamboo stalk with blue and green leaves sprouting across the center. Red and yellow flowers grow from two textured mounds at the base. To the left, a jagged blue rock sits surrounded by small red and blue blossoms. The vibrant floral scene stands out against the vessel's smooth, pale surface.
