• Description:
  Five bottles of the same shape are connected together evenly around the main bottle with a slightly long neck in the middle, forming a rather special six bottle. 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. The six bottlenecks are formed by splicing after being made into another piece. 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 exposed bottom of the circle foot is white and grayish yellow, and there is glaze in the circle foot. In the middle of the main bottle, the seal characters “made in the year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty” are printed in Yang characters. The name of tea powder glaze still did not appear on the pottery books of the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods. In Tang Ying’s (Tao Cheng Chronicle) in the 13th year of Yongzheng’s reign
