There is a string-like pattern from the neck to the torso.
It is also called a bamboo shoot bottle because it looks like a bamboo shoot.
It is a celadon bottle manufactured in the Southern Song Dynasty’s official kiln, and the bottom of the pottery is stamped with the seal of one of the official kiln’s kilns.
This is proof that it was burned in a government kiln.
At the government kiln in the suburbs of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in the Southern Song Dynasty, the pottery making technique was the best and it was a purveyor kiln in the palace.
The bottom is high and there are two holes. This hole is thought to be for passing a carrying string.
The celadon is thickly painted and the surface has a large glaze crack.
The glaze collects from the edge to the neck and is thick and beautiful, and if you look closely, you can see that there is a double glaze crack.
It is a very beautiful celadon that looks different in color depending on the viewing angle.
