• Description:
  Straight mouth, with a curled edge along the mouth, long neck, with ears on both sides, large abdomen, flat bottom, and high circle feet. The fetal bone is thick, and the whole body is painted with green enamel. The glaze color is gray green. The glaze surface has fine lines and thin glaze at the upper edges of the mouth and ear, showing brown edges. The glaze is applied to the foot border, and the bottom edge has no glaze. The exposed part is painted with black gray fetal protection juice. The bottom is engraved with Emperor Qianlong’s “Chanting Two Eared Official Kiln Bottle”: “The inner ware is still being repaired, and it is six hundred years old. Although the copper is green, it is full of jade. In ancient times, it was used to hold wine, but now it is only used to beat soy sauce. It is easy to carry your ears, and you can reach Myanmar’s Chonghua.” The imperial poem. At the end of the poem, the chronicle of “Emperor Qianlong Yisi’s Midspring Imperial Title” (fifty years of Emperor Qianlong: 1785) was signed, and two seals of “Bide” and “Langrun” were affixed. The Forbidden City in Beijing also has a similar shape, but at the bottom is another imperial poem “Chanting the Double Bottle of the Imperial Kiln”, which ends with “Qianlong Renyin’s New Imperial Title”
