A large Chinese porcelain blue and white ovoid jar of kraak type, painted on the body with a wide band of a continuous scene with two pheasants, one in flight swooping down between two flowering plum trees, the other standing on light blue-washed rockwork, amongst flowering peony, prunus branches and wutong beneath cloud sprays, all between two classic kraak borders of lappets and fruiting reserves, dispersed between ruyi heads on a blue-washed keyfret ground, the neck with a continuous scrolling band, the cover with three fruiting branches, similarly painted to the shoulder, the base unglazed revealing the biscuit body.
