Description:
A Longquan water dropper was in lovely melon shape.
By cute little spout, the small ewer was mold with a handle which intended to imitate the twisted vines.
It was most likely a salvage from the sea according the immensely spread foggy incursions on the surface.
Some padding grits were left at the bottom.
Despite the natural condition, this celadon ewer was well mold in nice shape, and was easy to hold in hand for caressing and fondling.
It can be easily ...
