Of archaistic zun form, the well-proportioned baluster body supported on a short foot and tapering to a straight mouthrim, the neck flanked by a pair of handles modeled in the form of horned deer heads, the exterior exquisitely painted in golden enamel against dark rich blue ground with two groups of buddhist lions playing around brocade balls among flames, all between bands of lappets and ruyi heads below angular geometry bands, inscribed with Qianlong mark on the base. 11 inch H, 9.25 inch W
