Pottery: Unknown (Uncertain)
Wine bottle with chrysanthemum design. Stoneware, thrown, with applied lug, inlaid in black and white slip, and celadon glazed. This typical twelfth-century wine bottle has an unbroken curving outline that flows from the slightly flared mouth over the pear-shaped body to the low foot. Judging from the small loop on the neck, the vessel must originally have had a lid with a corresponding loop for fastening. The shoulder is inlaid in white slip with two horizontal lines and a band of youi-heads. The main design is three chrysanthemum sprays inlaid in black and white slip. A band of double lotus petals is incised above the foot. The glaze is semi-opaque and lustrous, of a pale blue-green colour, and has a fine overall crackle. On the base are four quartzite spur-marks.
