Painted in rich tones of underglaze cobalt blue, this Kraak klapmuts has a central medallion depicting an extensive mountainous river landscape with pavilions, a pagoda, and a small boat, framed by rocky outcrops and trees. The cavetto is divided into four ruyi-head-shaped cartouches containing herons in reverse decoration among cobalt-blue lotus leaves. The cartouches are separated by smaller decorative motifs, while the flat rim is encircled by a dense peony and foliate scroll.

The exterior is more simply decorated with four cartouches enclosing floral motifs, separated by stylised vases. The rim is painted with two birds among branches extending downwards from the rim.

此件克拉克青花折沿碗以濃麗青花繪飾。碗心圓形開光內通景描繪江山勝景，亭臺、寶塔與小舟散布其間，四周山石林木掩映。內壁分設四組如意雲頭形開光，以青花為地留白繪鷺鳥遊於荷葉之間，各開光之間飾小型紋樣。平折沿滿繪繁密的纏枝牡丹及花葉紋。

外壁裝飾較為簡潔，四組開光內繪花卉，各以程式化瓶形紋相隔。近口沿處另繪兩隻禽鳥棲於自口沿向下伸展的枝條之間。
