Yuan Longquan Kiln Blue Glazed Brown Colored Continuous Plum Vase, Collection of Shenzhen Museum

The bottle body is exquisite, with a small mouth, short neck, ample shoulders, and gradually converging from the belly to the bottom, with shallow circular feet. The bottle holder has round lips folded flat, three small holes on the neck, three flower window shaped gaps on the body, and four small feet at the bottom of the holder. The bottle body and bottle holder can be flexibly loaded and unloaded. The Lianzuo plum vase was first seen in the Song Dynasty and is one of the bottle styles that were first fired during the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the shoulder of the plum vase was wider and the shape was fuller, not as slender as in the Song Dynasty. It was often used as a wine container. The continuous plum vase has a thick and dense body, and is coated with green glaze throughout. The glaze color is green with a yellowish tint, and there are ice cracks on the glaze surface.
