This porcelain pillow from the Northern Song Dynasty by the Cizhou kiln has three Chinese characters indicating that it was made by the Zhang Family. A Ci-style poem can be found on the top, which has a name as "Hui Wen Pu Sa Man". It is written by the literary giant of that time: Su Shi. Every line of the poem has to be read from right to left, then reversely from left to right. This pillow is very delicate and the calligraphy is well-written, thus it is an excellent porcelain work
