A [blue and white](https://realrareantiques.com/chinese-blue-and-white-porcelain/) porcelain stem bowl, the compressed rounded bowl with an incurved rim set on a tall, spreading hollow foot. Below the rim, a band of lattice is followed by a band of classic scroll. The sides are painted with a scroll of peony blossoms and leaves, and the underside of the bowl with a band of panels, each enclosing a cloud motif. The foot is circled by blue lines. Inside, a medallion shows a pair of waterbirds facing each other among lotus flowers and leaves, as if swimming in a pond. The blue is deep, with darker spots where it gathered.

The edge of the hollow foot is unglazed, showing a pale body with an orange tinge. Our guide to [Yuan blue and white porcelain](https://realrareantiques.com/yuan-blue-and-white-porcelain/) gives more on the period.
