The Chinese immortal Chinnan (Ch. Chennan [Ch'en Nan]) is known for summoning a dragon from dry mud to bring rain in a drought stricken area. Here, he is shown with a stick in his hand that he thrust into the dirt to rouse the dragon. The dragon is in the mud at the bottom. The artist signed the kozuka on the reverse.

Jars of this type were once used as water pots on a writing desk by scholars. The rounded crisp mouth is a functional design which assists in removing excess water from a brush. Cobalt blue paintings on the white porcelain body depict a three clawed dragon consuming floating sacred fungi lingzhi, believed to ensure long life and used as a symbol for immortality. A mark for good luck inscribed on the foot of the pot reads "precious jade treasure".
