A finely modelled tripod censer, raised on three accolade-shaped feet, with a straight cylindrical body rising to a gently rounded, flat rim. The inner edge of the rim is slightly thickened. The exterior is painted in vibrant tones of underglaze cobalt blue with a continuous mountainous river landscape. A fisherman is shown in a small boat upon the water, while two scholars are seated inside a small pavilion nestled among rockwork and trees. In the distance, further rocky outcrops and mountain peaks create depth, while a second architectural structure is partially concealed among various types of trees. On the opposite bank, another two scholars are seated along the water’s edge.
Below the main scene runs a dotted band, while the area beneath the rim is encircled by a stylised floral band composed of dotted and hatched motifs. The interior is left undecorated, and the underside is glazed around the outer edge, including the feet.
一件青花山水高士圖三足爐，器呈圓筒形，直壁，上承平沿，內緣略為加厚，下承三隻如意型足。外壁以鮮麗青花通景繪山水高士圖，漁夫泛舟水上，兩位高士對坐於山石林木間的小亭之中，遠處峰巒疊起，山石錯落，另一座亭閣掩映於不同樹木之間。隔岸另有兩位高士臨水而坐。
主景下方環飾一周點珠紋，近口處飾由點珠及斜線組成的變形花卉紋帶。內壁光素，器底外緣及三足施釉。
