The vase of flattened baluster form is carved in high relief on one side with a bird in flight above a fish leaping from waves, and in lower relief on the reverse with two birds in flight above a flowering branch. The two lug handles are carved with archaistic chilong and the finial is formed as a crouching Buddhist lion. The stone is a very pale greenish-white color with a soft polish, and some cloudy inclusions.
