Inscription: "Made in the Guangxu Reign of the Qing Dynasty" A round, slightly flattened box with a slightly domed lid. The shape is round and full, stable and grand. The bottom of the container is inscribed with the regular script "Made in the Guangxu Reign of the Qing Dynasty" in red. The body is thick and heavy, with a fine texture. The interior is fully coated with white glaze, smooth as jade. The lid is decorated with a pink-colored painting of two dragons vying for a pearl. The red dragons have round eyes, flowing beards, and a majestic appearance. Their five claws are like wheels, sharp as blades, commanding respect. The dragons are agile and powerful, moving through swirling clouds to play with the pearl, full of dynamism. The piece is majestic yet dynamic, luxurious yet elegant.
