An elegantly potted pair of vases, each with an ovoid body rising from a short foot to a tall cylindrical neck, finely painted in tones of underglaze cobalt blue. The body is decorated with a continuous mountainous river landscape depicting a sage accompanied by an attendant standing near a pavilion amidst trees beside the water, as a fisherman approaches in a boat. In the distance, a towering mountain dominates the landscape. The neck is encircled by a herringbone border below the mouth rim.
一對青花膽瓶，造型端莊，做腹垂膽，下承矮圈足，上接細長頸。通體以濃淡青花繪通景山水人物圖，高士與侍者立於水畔亭閣及林木之間，一漁夫乘舟緩緩駛近，遠處高峰聳立，構成幽深開闊的山水景致。頸部近口處環飾人字紋。
