The vessel features a globular body that tapers into a short neck, topped with a domed lid crowned by a gilded Shishi (Guardian Lion) finial. Its surface is a dense tapestry of jingtai-lan artistry, where intricate brass wires create "cloisons" filled with vibrant pigments of jade green, cobalt blue, and soft lavender.

The decorative program is dominated by stylized lotus blossoms and sweeping acanthus-like leaves, set against a shimmering, stippled gold-ground that suggests a high level of craftsmanship. Horizontal bands of traditional ruyi clouds and geometric turquoise patterns encircle the shoulder and base, providing a rhythmic frame to the central floral motif. Inside, the jar reveals a contrasting smooth, turquoise-enameled interior, while the heavy gilding on the rims and lion finial adds a regal finish to this classic decorative piece.
