With rounded walls with an everted lip and a deep well supported on a short and thick footrim. The bowl is decorated using the typical colours of Imari ware; Overglaze iron red, green, aubergine and yellow and gilding, as well as underglaze blue. The design is of a carp leaping out of the stylized ocean below wavy clouds, surrounded by eight ‘Aoi-mon’ panels in alternating patterns. The base with a double circle and a single spur mark.
