Its shape is an antique bronze statue. It was first seen in the Yongzheng dynasty and was followed by the Qianlong dynasty. The varieties are mostly monochromatic glaze. They are the monochromatic glaze products of the official kiln in the early Qianlong period. The elegant and beautiful shape of this bottle is perfectly combined with the moist and magnificent colour and glaze to achieve the Taoist artistic realm of "made in nature". It is full of natural charm and embodies the extraordinary aesthetic taste of the ancient Emperor Qianlong.
