Green-glazed Piyong Inkslab

Passed down from earlier generations, this inkslab was named after its resemblance to the shape of “piyong”, a circular ancient architecture surrounded by water. The round inkslab has an upright rim, a bottom whose interior side is raised even higher than the rim, and 11 hoof-shaped feet. Smooth greyish red pottery body is exposed on the interior bottom, while its exterior wall is covered with thin, uneven green glaze and decorated with raised lozenge patterns of thick lines.
