Inscription: "Made in the Qianlong Reign" The item is beautifully shaped, with a thick, slightly long neck, narrowing from the rim to the shoulder, a round, bulging belly, and a ring foot. The glaze is smooth, and the body is decorated with a "hundred flowers without leaving the ground" in pastel colors. Three open spaces display flower-and-bird paintings; willow leaves sway gracefully. The decoration is exquisite, and the artistic conception is profound. This type of pattern, where flowers are clustered together without leaving any gaps, is also known as "ten thousand flowers brocade," "ten thousand flowers offering auspiciousness," and "ten thousand flowers offering longevity." It excels in its profusion of vibrant and eye-catching floral patterns. The "hundred flowers without leaving the ground" decorative pattern first appeared in the Yongzheng reign and continued thereafter, with the Qianlong period's "ten thousand flowers offering auspiciousness" patterns being the most elaborate and refined. This type of decoration was also quite popular in the late Qing and Republic of China periods.
