Description:
It is oval in shape, and the decorations include a keyfret pattern on the rim, an embroidery pattern on the waisted foot, dragon motifs on the handles, and a cloud pattern on the body and the foot. Decorations on the cover consist of similar patterns, as well as three jutting, cornered flanges. All these characteristics are consistent with the regulations of Qing ritual vessels, which were compiled in the 13th year of the Qianlong period (1748). Below the body and within the foot ring are two rings of peg traces, which reveal that the vessel needs two layers of supporting pegs in order to sustain the form of the vessel during the firing process. Therefore, one may see the strenuous efforts paid to emulate ancient vessels and to observe ancient regulations. The Yingqing glaze of the moon-white porcelain vessels implies that they are used at the moon altar. During the ritual service, the gui is the container of grains.
