Green-glazed Pot with Handle

Excavated from the Luderou Tomb of Southern Tang in Cansang Brick & Tile Factory of Xihu town, suburbs of Yangzhou city in 2001, this pot is believed to be made by Ding Kiln based on its features, quality of body and color of glaze. It has a tapering opening rim, gourd-shaped belly, flat bottom with a convex interior, a slightly curvy tube-like spout, a handle combining five strips, and a lid with its knob featuring curly snake. Its sturdy body in greyish white is covered with evenly-applied green glaze, on which small natural cracks can be seen.
