The hu-form vase is finely decorated in delicate enamels with a continuous scene of bucks, does and fawns amidst rocks and trees, and with mountains in the distance. A wide river shown as a large expanse of white separates the scene, and the deer in the foreground on the near shore are depicted as larger in size than those in the distance on the far shore creating an unusual sense of perspective. The shoulders are set with a pair of stylized dragon handles decorated in cobalt blue. The base is drilled and has the remnants of a Qianlong six-character seal mark in underglaze blue.
