Introduction
Potted with a small mouth, a plump rim, a sloping shoulder and a deeper belly, the vase has a girdled neck and bulging shoulder tapering down to the foot ring; its exterior is covered overall in sky blue glaze till the edge of the bottom which is trimmed neatly; embossed rings are partially visible through the glaze; and the interior of the foot ring is left unglazed to expose its greyish white biscuit.
