Elegantly potted in pear-shaped form, rising from a short spreading foot with channelled groove to a tall cylindrical neck, painted in vibrant tones of underglaze blue with a scene of Emperor Wu Ding accompanied by a parasol bearer, followed by soldiers and attendants, presenting a scroll with a portrait to Fu Yue, who stands with hands raised in gratitude, his hoe and hat placed on the ground beside him, the scene unfolding within a landscape of pavilions shrouded in clouds, with trees and rockwork, the neck decorated with a cracked-ice border at the mouth and the foot with a band of painted 'blobby dots'. 26cm (10 1/4in) high.

The scene depicts an episode from the story of Fu Yue, the celebrated minister of the Shang ruler Wu Ding, as recorded in Sima Qian's (). According to tradition, Wu Ding dreamed of a worthy man who had been granted to him by Heaven as an adviser. Upon waking, he ordered an artist to paint the likeness of the figure he had seen in his dream and dispatched officials throughout the realm to search for the man.
The present scene captures the moment of discovery. Fu Yue is shown standing beside the painted portrait, while his hoe and work hat are on the ground beside him, alluding to his humble circumstances prior to his elevation. The ruler Wu Ding, identified by the attendant holding a parasol above him, compares the man before him with the image revealed in his dream and recognises him as the destined sage. Fu Yue was subsequently appointed to high office and became one of the most esteemed ministers of the Shang dynasty.
The story became a popular subject in Chinese painting and decorative arts as an illustration of the Confucian ideal that virtue and talent, rather than birth or social status, should determine advancement. It also celebrates the enlightened ruler's ability to recognise worthy service wherever it may be found, even amongst those of the humblest origins. The same scene is illustrated on a jar, Shunzhi, illustrated by M.Butler, J.B.Curtis and S.Little, , Seattle and London, 2002, pp.196-197, no.59.
