The painting is of ladies at leisure in a garden setting with rock work, fringed willow and a jumping boy it is thought that it is a stylized vision of the story of Cheng he.
Both the top and underside of the rim is painted with auspicious Taoist emblems. the inside painted with 2 jumping boys .
The foot has a six character apocryphal Cheng H'ua mark but not a deceptive mark.
