Main body painted with imperial‑style bird‑and‑flower scene: perforated garden rock surrounded by blooming peonies and magnolias. A splendid golden‑pheasant with rich multi‑hued plumage perches alongside a companion bird, rendered with meticulous detail on feathers, eyes and claws.

Surviving as original pair, these represent high‑grade imperial falangcai decorative porcelain of Qianlong reign.
