Of cylindrical form with a gently flared mouth and a neatly finished foot ring, finely painted in underglaze cobalt blue with a continuous mountainous river landscape. Small dwellings are scattered among varied trees, while a small bridge beneath a majestic weeping willow crosses the calm waters. Beyond, a distant mountain range unfolds beneath a night sky with a crescent moon and stars. Beneath the main decoration runs a delicate raised line, below which is a border of dotted motifs. The tapering foot rim is decorated with a stylised zigzag pattern. The recessed base is glazed and bears a double circle in underglaze cobalt blue.
器呈圓筒形，口沿微撇，下承圈足。外壁以青花通景繪山水夜景，屋舍散布於林木之間，一株高大的垂柳臨水而立，樹下小橋橫跨平靜水面，遠處層巒綿延，夜空中一彎新月高懸，繁星點綴其間。
主景下方凸起一道弦紋，其下環飾點珠紋，外撇圈足飾變形折線紋。底部內凹施釉，書青花雙圈。
