 This is a commonly used plum vase with a larger oral portion and relatively large height. It was probably made as a special product. The base is of high quality and white in color, and the clay is rolled up and finished.
 The design consists of three sets of lotus flower patterns in a rather bold pattern covering the entire surface of the vessel.
 The ash glaze is stable with the addition of feldspar, and shows a homogeneous curve with only a slight glaze on the lower half of the bowl, producing a brilliant light green color.
