The exterior is finished in a deep red cinnabar-style lacquer, intricately carved with a central band of large blossoming peonies and dense foliage set against a geometric square-diaper background. The shoulder and base are decorated with scrolling foliate and floral borders. The interior of the jar is coated in a bright blue enamel, and the rim is bound in a metal alloy, likely brass or bronze. This item is missing its original lid.
