- Description
- Small floral patterns are filled in with the prime coat and camellias petals, leaves and branches are arranged over them. camellia flowers appear multi-dimensionally where groups of lines intersect, generating a special effect. Leaves are drawn in strong turgescent brush strokes, while branch brush strokes are rugged and mannered these are overglazed in violet, green, and yellow. On the undersides of both tiers, dynamic wavy clouds are painted, and within the foot, the Chinese character "福 " is enclosed in a double rectangle. The underside is entirely glazed green.
