• Description:
  The whole device is of slag bucket type, with bell mouth, short neck, bulging abdomen, and round foot. The surface is decorated with white ground and blue flowers. The patterns are divided into two layers. The upper layer is painted with six groups of Ruyi cloud head patterns, with each group separated by a long branch. The lower layer is decorated with six intertwined flowers, with petals radiating outwards. Some of the flower stems are separated by blank spaces. In addition, they are also divided by contour lines. A blue double line is drawn near the foot circle, and the foot circle touches the ground at the exposed tire. The blue and white “Longyin Pavilion” style is written on the bottom, and the outer circle is double. There are two types of “Langyin Pavilion” works in our collection. This is the second type, and its flower pattern is similar to the third type with the same “Langyin Pavilion System” in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
