The vessel is well carved in the shape of a ewer raised on an oval pedestal foot encircled by a double bow-string band, and is carved on the upper body with a band of archaistic scroll interrupted by the inquisitive chilong that forms the handle. The whitish stone is semi-translucent and has brown markings.

This unusual small jade pouring vessel appears to be a miniature version of larger, similarly shaped and decorated ewers with chilong handles, such as the pale greenish-white jade pouring vessel (13.3 cm.) in the Tianjin Museum, illustrated in Zhongguo Yuqi Quanji, Sui, Tang, Ming, vol. 5, Hebei, 1994, p. 166, no. 241, which is dated mid-Ming dynasty. Compare, also, the example (12.1 cm.) illustrated by J. Rawson in Chinese Jades throughout the ages, The Oriental Ceramic Society, 1975, no. 310, where it is dated Song-Yuan, 13th-14th century.
