• Description:
  Round mouth and narrow lips, long neck, flat and round abdomen, short circle feet. The fetal bone is thick, and the whole body is fired by cushion firing method. The inside and outside are covered with green glaze, which is green in color, and the glaze is uniform and transparent. The ring foot is not round, the gray white tire is exposed at the landing place, and the iron red edge can be seen at the foot end. This shape was popular in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and its materials were different from copper, silver and porcelain. There is a piece of similar shape in the Changpanshan Library of Japan, but the glaze is beige. Because the surface of the porcelain bottle also has green glaze color, and the British Museum has a similar shape celadon bottle, the glaze of the same shape bottle in the Longquan Kiln Museum of Zhejiang Province is beige, so there is a saying that the beige glaze is produced because the fire temperature changes when the kiln is fired, which causes the celadon glaze to turn to beige. In addition, an example similar to this porcelain vase can also be found in Suining Cellar (1236), Jinyu Village, Sichuan Province-
