Inscribed "Made during the Guangxu reign of the Great Qing". The fitted box has a flattened circular shape with a slightly convex lid, giving it a round, full, stable, and dignified appearance. The bottom of the vessel is inscribed with "Made during the Guangxu reign of the Great Qing" in red regular script. The body is thick and heavy, the clay fine, and the inner wall is fully covered with a white glaze, smooth and lustrous like jade. The lid is adorned with a "two dragons playing with a pearl" motif in fencai enamel. The red dragon's eyes are wide open, its whiskers and hair flying, majestic and awe-inspiring, with five strong claws as sharp as blades, commanding respect. The wandering dragon is agile, its body powerful, traversing through auspicious clouds while playing with the pearl, full of dynamism. Majestic yet dynamic, magnificent yet elegant.
