  The neck of the celadon jar is short and straight, the shoulders are plump, the lower part of the abdomen is convergent, the bottom is slightly outward, with a low circle foot, and the middle of the foot is concave. The inside and outside of the vessel and the cover are glazed, the glaze layer is thick and moist, the glaze color is green, and the rim, foot landing place and a circle of neatly trimmed astringent circles in the vessel cover are unglazed, exposing orange red carcass. The five pagoda temple in Haidian, Beijing, once unearthed a white glazed jar with a lotus pattern, which is similar to an implement, or it can be speculated that both of them were made for official use.
