Vase with ovoid body and short neck with spreading lip.
Buff- grey stoneware with coating of white slip, on which
floral designs are lightly incised and brushed over with black.

scroll, and above and below are bands of oblique petal pattern.
This is a particularly fine example of Tz'u. Chou work
when it was at its best.
