  Round mouth, curved shallow wall, flat bottom, short circle foot. The full glaze is fired, and the whole body is covered with blue glaze, which is light powder cyan, with gray brown edges appearing along the thin glaze. There are glaze wiping marks under the mouth. The glaze surface is covered with gray patterns, and a few light brown fine lines are interspersed locally. There are six branch burning points arranged around the bottom. Dark gray body can be seen in the branch marks. It has been handed down with a brocade bundle and a wooden seat. The bottom of the seat is engraved with a “Jia” inscription. In the 38th year of Qianlong’s reign (1773), there was a description at the end of the poem “Chanting Official Kiln Plates” that “the ancient vessels in the inner palace are of high quality, and all the works in the casket are engraved with the letter A”. It was learned that the holder of the inscription with the letter “A” was the cultural relic that the Emperor Qianlong collected and was rated as Grade A by him.
