A helmet (kui 魁) is a pun for 'leader', which also indicates the wish to succeed in first place in the Palace examinations. The 'five boys' refer to the children of Dou Yujun (竇禹鈞), the scholar, educator and official during the Five Dynasties period (907-960 AD), whose eminent sons achieved remarkable success in the Civil Service Examinations, earning him lasting reverence as the ideal parent.Compare with related Daoguang vases, but decorated with a ruby ground around the elongated neck and foot, such as one depicting children in a Dragon Boat Race, and another decorated with fruiting pomegranate trees, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Porcelains with Cloisonné Enamel Decoration and Famille-Rose Decoration, Hong Kong, 1999, pls.189 and 194.
