The whole is covered in turquoise and aubergine glazes, with dark highlights; the backs of the plinths, featuring moulded stylised lingzhi decoration, are left unglazed. The glaze surface shows a network of craquelure. Height: 16.5 cm Wear to the glaze, pitting and small areas of missing glaze, firing cracks, general wear. The technique and colour palette are characteristic of Fahua ware, associated with kilns in northern China, particularly in Shanxi.
