The pure and translucent white jade is finely designed with a flattened baluster body rising from a stepped foot to a short neck, the neck set with a pair of elephant-head handles, suspending loose rings. The domed cover is surmounted by a round knob. Each side of the vase is masterfully inscribed in gilt with Imperial Poems in kaishu.
