A Blue and White Flat Ewer With a Phoenix-head Spout


Compiled from Pottery and Porcelain


A Blue and White Flat Ewer With a Phoenix-head Spout
Produced in the Yuan Dynasty (1206 - 1368), this ewer, 18.5 cm high, was excavated from a ruined Yuan courtyard in Beijing in October 1970. The phoenix head serves as the spout, and the rolled tail as the handle. It shows the influence of the ceramic designs of the nomadic people of North China.
