The finely potted shallow bowl has gently rounded sides rising to a slightly everted rim and is delicately painted in the centre with a basket filled with fruit and flowers, all executed in vibrant tones of underglaze cobalt blue. The interior rim is decorated with a band of three flying cranes interspersed with ruyi motifs and clouds. The exterior is painted with two inverted trees extending from the upper rim, each bearing a bird. The base bears the rare Egret mark. This mark is executed with a more spontaneous and stylised brushwork.

此碗胎體輕薄，淺弧腹，口沿微撇。碗心以鮮麗青花繪花果籃，籃內花卉果實繁盛。內壁近口沿處環繪三隻飛鶴，間飾如意雲頭與流雲。外壁繪兩株自口沿向下倒生的樹木，枝頭各棲一鳥。底部書罕見的「白鷺款」，運筆較為率意，造型亦具程式化特徵。
