  Open a small bowl, fold down the deep arc wall, and circle the feet. Transparent glaze is applied inside and outside the vessel, which is white in color, and the outer wall is plain without lines. The inner wall is decorated with printing techniques: there is one flower in six petals in the center of the inner bottom, and the inner wall is decorated with chrysanthemum flowers and leaves in full bloom. The wall is very thin, reflecting light. The mouth edge is inlaid with gold buckle. This piece is attached with a flange wall of the Neolithic Age, and is engraved with a poem made by the Emperor Qianlong. It is the jade wall that was used by the Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty as the lamp holder of this porcelain lamp. The foot of the lamp can just fit in the inner edge of the wall, and it can be turned into a combination of porcelain bowl and tea holder. The poem reads: “Take care of the ancient jade, and the tea cups and cups will be passed on forever. They are simple and unique, and the combination of the two materials is unique. They are lighter than Song Ding and thinner than paper, and the tea soup is slightly hot. If you take care of the care of the care of the care of the care of the care of the care of the care of the care of the tea, you can taste fragrant and clean. Just think of Lu Tong and Lu Yu generation, and An Neng can take care of the tea with them. After laughing at the two sons or meeting the time, you can’t turn around and stop sipping.” Completed in the fifties of Qianlong Emperor
