Greenish glazed bowl with floral decoration on the inside, figures of boys playing among peonies, and traces of spur marks. The figure of children playing among flowers evolved from a popular Song-era motif, symbolising fertility. It came into the possession of the Hopp Museum in 1961 as an exchange gift from the Museum of History of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
