The pear-shaped vase rises from a short foot to a tall neck with an everted rim and is decorated in underglaze cobalt blue. The rounded body is painted with an elegant phoenix perched upon rockwork, set within a landscape with flowering branches, a butterfly and another bird in flight. Above the shoulder is a band of ruyi-head motifs, while the neck is decorated with vertical lines beneath a broad band of coin motifs. The base bears a hare mark.
此瓶作梨形，下承矮圈足，上接高頸，口沿外撇，通體以青花繪飾。圓腹繪鳳凰立於山石之上，四周花枝掩映，蝴蝶與另一隻飛鳥翩然其間。肩部上方環飾一周如意雲頭紋，頸部飾縱向線紋，口沿下則環繪寬幅錢紋。底部繪玉兔款。
