Small wine pot or teapot
Not on view
This small, squat, pear-shaped pot has an eared handle and a curved spout. A design of flowers and rocks is painted on either side. The quality of the blue is unusually good for wares of this type; indeed, it approximates the blue seen in mid-sixteenth-century Chinese porcelains. The character yu (jade) is written in underglaze blue, with no encircling element, on the base. The chipped spout has been repaired.
