Gourd Flask with Floral Scrolls
A moon flask of white porcelain decorated in underglaze blue with continuous scrolling flowers and leaves across its lobed, flattened body. Stylized blossoms and tendrils fill the field, framed by a band of geometric fret border, and two sculpted scroll handles rise from the neck.
Look closer: Small key-fret band around the base foot with a second floral panel below the rim of the neck.
