Of elegant ovoid body rising to a slender ’bamboo' neck with incised lines and surmounted by a cupped mouth with a flared rim, with an upright spout on the shoulder, the body carved with Chi-dan characters above a leaf lappet encircle the foot, covered overall with a lustrous pale ivory glaze, the unglazed base revealing the white buff body, 11.7 inch high.
