Ming Dynasty period. Of ovoid form, the body painted with mythical beasts chasing brocade ball, in between ruyi shaped heads band around the shoulder and upright lappet around the foot, the base with apocryphal mark.

此罐為圓口、直頸，溜肩，鼓腹微扁，腹下漸收，圈足。通體以青花繪制，口沿飾雙藍圈，繪花葉小樣，肩部飾以披肩如意花一周，腹部繪獅戲球紋飾，腹脛部飾蓮瓣紋，繪畫細膩流暢，青花发色濃郁艷麗，仿永宣“蘇料”沈郁古研之氣，雖不得盡美，也不失一番清新。整體造型古拙敦實，胎體堅實，胎質細膩，釉面潔凈，包漿細膩潤澤，保存完好，收藏佳器。來源: 俄勒岡州私人藏家收藏
