Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This green variant of the ‘fahua’ style is rare, although it is common for architectural elements of large temple furnishings. Sometimes it is referred to as Ming ‘sancai’, meaning three-coloured wares of the Ming. The shape, with the inverted neck and foot, is also less well known.
