The shallow abdomen is folded along the small wash, slightly wide and short, with round feet. The outer wall is embossed with lotus petal patterns, which are wide and protruding in the middle. Two round holes have been drilled on two opposite sides of the flat folding edge before firing. The vessel is also decorated with two fish patterns with molded floating arches, which are slender and fish shaped. The glaze color is pink and green. Cao Zhao’s Gegu Yaolun (1388) wrote about the Longquan Kiln: “There is a first-class basin with two fish at the bottom and a copper collar at the mouth. The thick ones are not very good.” The mouth of the device is perforated on four sides to install copper ring handle.
