Gray jade, gray is distributed in dark and light bands. This seems to be a small pot for birds to drink in the cage. A long hook protrudes from one side to fix the small pot on the wooden pole. The shoulder and bottom edge are carved with leaf patterns, and the shoulder is inlaid with red glass for one week. Originally, gold foil rings should be pasted around the red glass, most of which have fallen off.
