Song Dynasty Cizhou Ware Yellow Glazed Water Dropper with Ring-shaped

Water droplets made in Cizhou ware during the Song Dynasty. We use white, fine-grained clay typical of the Cizhou ware in Hebei. It is formed into a ring shape with a hole in the center, and has a thin spout and a water inlet on the opposite side. If you look at the bottom, it is not flat but has a raised shape, which is a great idea to minimize the installation surface. A thick layer of bright yellow glaze is applied, giving it an expressive effect depending on the shade, and is so glassy that it can be crackle-glazed. The two grass patterns decorated with engravings on the top are three-dimensional, and the shading of the glaze further expresses the veins of the leaves. This item looks great not only as a water dropper, but also as a single flower vase. There is no conspicuous flaws.It has good luster throughout and is in good condition.
