of conical form, the thinly-potted vessel with wide flaring sides rising from a slightly tapered foot to a gently everted hexalobed rim, the interior with three boys each playfully grasping the long sinuous stem of a leafing lush lotus meander, the petals with furled edges and freely incised with stylized wavy veins, applied overall with a translucent lustrous pale bluish-green glaze pooling to a deeper tone in the recesses, the glaze stopping neatly at the foot, the unglazed base fired and buffed tone to a burnt-orange at the center

The bowl is in mostly good condition, however, there are three flake chips to the interior of the foot (longest approx. 1 cm), frits to base, tiny nicks along the indented sections of the rim, and minor expected surface wear. The surface and the rim have been cleaned and polished. The color of the glaze is consistent with the illustration in the printed catalog.
