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. This type of utensil was first seen in the Xuande Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty and prevailed in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty. This bottle is made of white glaze and decorated with a pattern of Doucai. The neck is painted with patterns of bats, swastikas, twigs and curling grass. The abdomen is painted with a square light with gold colored hooks. Inside, it is written the poem “Hanging a bottle?” written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in the eighth year (AD 1743)? The front rhyme: “Heng Gao heals the algae, the room is accompanied by Qingjia, and the room is full of charm.
