  This bowl has a long mouth, a deep arc wall and a short circle. The inside of the utensil is plain without lines, and the outer wall is painted with green bamboo after folding stones in ochre ink. There are four ribbon birds with different postures in the Stone Forest. On the other side of the outer wall, there are two lines written in ink: “You know what it looks like when the sun is green, and you can see the phoenix hair when the sun is rising.” The last line describes the birds with ribbons, which is based on the second line of the five character poem “Ink Bamboo” written by Shang Lu in the Ming Dynasty. There are three red seals in front of the poem, “Phoenix Picking”, and behind it, “Binran” (in white) and “Gentleman”. The bottom of the utensil is provided with two lines of blue Song typeface made in Yongzheng year.
