It is flat against the wall, and there is a hole below the neck that can be directly hung on the nail on the wall, so it is called the wall bottle and the car bottle in the Qing Dynasty. This type of utensil was first seen in the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty and prevailed in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty. This bottle is white on the ground, with a blue banana leaf pattern on the neck, a palisade and a wreath pattern on the shoulder, and a royal “imperial” word on the bright and gilded belly, as well as a poem saying, “It is better to spend less time embellishing than to steal the sky.” The red inscription of “minister in Minzhong” and the gilded inscription of “write the heart of a sunflower” fill in the red characters, and the red filigree peach flowers, crabapple and rose flowers are decorated in the open spaces. Yu Minzhong (1714-1779), the No. 1 Scholar in the second year of Qianlong (1737), was an expert in calligraphy, a great scholar in the Wenhua Hall, a calendar official, and was appointed to write in the Maoqin Hall in the 25th year (1760)
