The group includes two blue and white porcelain ginger jars, one complete with a domed lid and the other lacking a cover, both featuring underglaze cobalt blue decoration of prunus blossoms on a cracked-ice ground. A large porcelain ovoid vase is decorated with an underglaze scene of reeds or bamboo in a muted palette of grey and black. Included is a white porcelain cachepot featuring a gilded rim and polychrome floral sprays depicting irises, roses, and forget-me-nots. A stoneware-style globular vase features incised and painted leaf motifs on a buff-coloured ground. Smaller items include a bulbous vase with a blue mottled glaze, a small teacup and saucer with an iron-red and blue floral pattern, and a turquoise blue glazed figurine of a stylized dog. A small figurine of a hen is present, featuring a multi-coloured heraldic crest printed on its side. Completing the collection is a large naturalistic shell-form vessel with a textured exterior and an iridescent interior finish. A small teacup and saucer set features underglaze blue and overglaze iron-red floral decoration. No maker's names are legible on the visible surfaces of the objects.
