- Description:
The mouth is skimmed and the abdomen is folded around the foot plate. The outer wall is embossed with three convex ridge lotus petals. The inner wall is shallow with lotus patterns on branches. The center of the plate is a coiled dragon. The carving knife technique is steady. Every two knives form a petal. The edges of the petals are clear and the petals are stacked up one layer at a time, just like a blooming lotus. The flowers in the tool are delicately and neatly sketching the branches and leaves. Each oblique knife is drawn, and the straight knife is used to return to the front, so that the lines and shadows between the fast knife techniques are scattered. The whole vessel is covered with white enamel. Only the narrow copper ridge is inlaid at the mouth edge. It is fired again. The fetal bone is thin and the glaze color is bright and moist.
