The base is finished with a stylized ruyi-head border in pink and yellow. The interior of the jar and lid are glazed white. The unglazed foot rim reveals a white porcelain body. The underside of the base features an iron-red overglaze four-character mark arranged in a square reading 中国制造, accompanied by the English text MADE IN CHINA.
