[Bright red glazed monk hat pot]

Bright red glazed monk hat pot, Ming Xuande, height 20 cm, caliber 16.1 cm, foot diameter 17.2 cm
The pot has a wide neck, shoulders, tummy, thin bottom and round feet. A wide-band crank is arranged from the mouth edge to the neck on one side, and a duck-mouth flow channel is arranged on the opposite side. It is attached with a round button umbrella cover, with a small round tie at the cover edge and at the back of the pot mouth, which can be connected by threading ropes. The outer wall is painted with red glaze, which is bright and pure. White glaze is applied to the inside of the ring foot and the inside of the vessel
The monk hat pot is named for its mouth like a monk’s hat. It is used by Tibetan Buddhism. During the reign of Yongle and Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen produced a large number of monk hat pots
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen Kiln used to imitate Xuande Red Glazed Monk Hat Pot. Its glaze was close to Xuande ware, but its shape was slightly clumsy. The difference was as follows: the neck contour of Xuande ware was in an inward inclined arc, which was more delicate; The neck of the Kangxi utensil is nearly straight, slightly bloated. The abdomen of the Xuande instrument is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the maximum abdominal diameter is in the upper abdomen, which is ingenious in change; The largest abdominal diameter of Kangxi’s vessels is in the middle abdomen, so they appear rounded.
