The vase has a hexagonal shape, with a structure that extends seamlessly from the rim to the base, creating a sense of visual stability. The neck features sculpted handles in the form of dragon heads or taotie motifs, which are traditional decorative elements in Chinese ceramics. The glaze is smooth and has a soft luster, with visible signs of wear and aging throughout. Additionally, a minor crack is present near the rim.
The surface of the vase is adorned with a meticulously painted landscape scene. The artwork features towering blue mountain peaks, winding rivers, traditional houses, a boatman rowing on the water, and a shepherd guiding his ox, all of which idealize a peaceful and leisurely life in nature. One panel is inscribed with poetry in an elegant script, adding a literary and scholarly touch beyond mere decoration. The refined painting and sculpted ornamentation exemplify the exquisite artistry of late Qing Dynasty ceramics.
