Description:
There may be a metal liner inside. The belly of the vessel is pasted with hexagonal bluish white jade pieces, and between each piece is inlaid with rubies and the so-called “gold wire” wrapped with gold foil, forming a gorgeous appearance. The bottom of the utensil is carved into a bracket, and at the bottom is a concave disc. The neck is long, and the mouth is embedded with a piece of jade with five big round holes. This is a big pot of Indian smoke. However, it may have been spread to the Qing Palace, where two gold plated ring animal faces were added.
