Description:
The upper part is big and the lower part is small. The body and bottom are not formed in one piece, and the bottom is inlaid. The ring ware was decorated with convex string patterns, which formed a trend on the porcelain of the imitation system in the late Ming Dynasty. The color of the whole device changes naturally, from dark maroon to faded brown white, and the outer wall is slightly uneven. The raw jade is a dark green sapphire. It may be barbecued or heated during use after being coated with medicinal materials, or even the whole product may not be very warm locally. It was popular at that time to paint jade in imitation of ancient bronze.
