  Open, deep arc wall, high feet lean outward. The whole vessel is covered with white glaze inside and outside. The central part of the outer wall is decorated with peach fruit and leaf patterns. The fresh fruit and green leaves reflect each other in distinct colors. In the bowl, a pair of birds look at each other on the branches, and the surrounding area is full of strange stones, ganoderma lucidum and flowers. The height of the target bowl can be used as a handle, while most nomads carry such utensils with them when riding horses as drinking utensils.
