Finely painted to the interior with a powerful four-clawed dragon writhing among stylised clouds in pursuit of a flaming pearl. The reverse is similarly decorated with a dragon and cloud scrolls, creating a continuous, dynamic composition around the vessel. The recessed base bears an underglaze cobalt-blue six-character Da Qing Yongzheng nian zhi mark within double circles.
器內以青花精繪一條四爪龍騰躍於程式化流雲之間,追逐前方火珠,氣勢矯健。外壁同樣繪龍紋與卷雲紋,環繞器身連續展開,構圖動感強烈。底部內凹,青花雙圈內書「大清雍正年製」六字款。
