  The whole device, like a longitudinally split half device, is in the shape of a bottle with a half face and a double dragon ear, and its back is flat. It can be fastened to the wall or sedan chair with holes, so it is called a wall bottle or sedan chair bottle. It is called a car bottle in the archives. The outer wall of this bottle is painted with yellow glaze and various patterns. A lotus flower is in full bloom on the neck, and the center of the flower is inserted with a halberd chime to symbolize “auspicious celebration”. The golden color frame on the outer wall of the abdomen surrounds Kaiguang, which is surrounded by curling branches and lotus leaves. Kaiguang paints the landscape in a white way. The pavilion is located between the mountains and the waters. The two people talk with each other on the bridge. Red glaze is applied to the sole of the foot in the form of a single horizontal six character seal script written in gold color “made in Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty”.
