This glazed and lustered earthenware vase is decorated with curving iris flowers. It has a short, flared neck, rounded shoulders and a tall, tapering body, with no foot. The bottom is about as wide as the rim, creating a sense of balance. The vase is densely decorated with iridescent iris flowers and foliage, in shades of blue-violet, soft spring green, and bluish seafoam green. The frilled blossoms curve around the neck and shoulders of the vase, tucked among the tall blade-shaped leaves. The background is a lustrous, rosy copper color. The inside edge of the rim appears to be decorated with a blue-green design on a copper-colored background.
