  It has a wide mouth, copper buckle embedded along the mouth, curved deep wall, and short legs. Thirty three long and narrow lotus petal patterns were printed on the peripheral wall model, and the ridge of the petal was raised. It is fired by cushion firing method. The inside and outside are coated with green glaze, which is green and slightly pink luster. The glaze is covered with gray brown flakes, mixed with a few transparent ice cracks. From the time of applying glaze to the foot, there is no glaze on the foot end, and iron gray body is exposed. Because the enamel and body are similar to those unearthed from Laohudong Kiln in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, they are regarded as similar products.
