Description

The vessel is elegantly potted with three steps tapering from the foot in imitation of an archaistic bronze vessel. The sides are applied with a pair of ring-handles suspending from taotie-masks. The body is potted with rich reddish clay and decorated with yellow sand imitating ‘pear-peel’ effect. The base bears a four-character seal mark reading Mengchen shoushi, which can be translated as ‘handmade by Mengchen’.
