Description

The bottle has a baluster-shaped design with a clearly defined neck with an angular, protruding mouth. Then follows a thickening, bulbous body and a standring placed a little outside. The bottle is completely covered with glittering transparent celadon glaze, nevertheless rough and browny on the middle of the bottom. The standring shows traces of six cutting-marks and is oxidized. Allover is a fine mesh of craquelures. (HV)
