This baluster vase with narrow short neck and everted lip is painted with a similar design to the early 15th-century example (Ch28) also in the Duberly collection. There are six flowering and fruiting branches, the shoulder having lotus lappets and the base stiff leaves. The underside of the base is biscuit and has probably been ground to remove a Qing imperial mark.
