• Description:
  The whole device is connected with five bottles with the same shape, straight neck, wide shoulder, and long cut abdomen, evenly around the main bottle with a slightly longer neck in the middle, forming a six part bottle with a rather special shape. The six bottle shoulders are generally high, and the six bottle bottoms are flush and of the same size. The exposed area of the five peripheral bottle walls is the same, forming a virtual body with no separation in the five connected bottle walls. The middle main bottle is a solid body with several holes drilled from the shoulder down to the foot, connecting with the five outer bottles. This piece of tea powder has green glaze, decorative convex string patterns on the edge of the mouth and the middle of the neck, and the glaze is thin and yellowish brown. The bottom of the circle foot is exposed, and there is glaze inside the circle foot. In the middle of the main bottle, there is a six character seal character “made in the year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty” printed in Yang characters.
