An earthenware frog mug printed with a wrap around pattern with many design elements that depict a lakeside scene in which the action is focused on a small boat with three figures fishing while a large and elaborate ship with serpent-like bow passes by. A pagoda is featured on the left and to the right is a landscape complete with a tall tower, 1 building, a large exotic tree and a temple-like pavilion with another figure, or perhaps a statue, standing in the doorway. This is a variation of the pattern found on J115. This floral with medallion border is known on other unmarked hollow ware but  the maker is unknown.
