Of cylindrical form with a slightly flared mouth and neatly finished foot ring, finely painted in underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze enamels with a continuous river landscape. The scene is composed of dramatic scholar’s rocks, pavilions and cottages nestled amongst trees, with distant mountain peaks highlighted in pale green enamel. Flowering trees with iron-red blossoms and additional green foliage provide contrasting accents against the cobalt-blue landscape. The design is enclosed between double underglaze cobalt-blue line borders at the rim and foot. The recessed base is glazed and bears a single underglaze cobalt-blue artemisia leaf mark.
器呈圓筒形，口沿微撇，下承圈足。外壁以青花及釉上彩通景繪山水樓閣圖，奇石嶙峋，亭台屋舍掩映於林木之間，遠處峰巒以淡綠彩點染。花樹綴以礬紅花朵，並配以綠彩枝葉，與青花山水相互映襯。
口沿及近足處均飾青花雙弦紋。底部內凹施釉，繪青花葉子款。
