Summary

[edit]
Description

Height 22.0 cm | Extreme Width 13.0 cm | Body Diameter 9.0 cm

This decanter has a very narrow spout. In the past it was used in some Buddhist ceremonies and, as time went by, it became an implement in the temples during the Qing Dynasty. The pattern of the body is in the form of a monster's head. There are lotus flowers kept in the base of the decanter. There are also some "fan wen" Tibetan characters.
