The entire surface from the neck to the shoulder is reddish brown, and several scarlet stripes appear like a stream from the shoulder to the body, creating a truly brilliant scene. The skin is also finely textured and white. The surface is fine and white. The bottom of the pot bears the mark “上” and there are traces of sticking to the body in several places.
