The pot got its name for its resemblance to monk‘s cap at the mouth rim. It was made after the metal vessel used in Tibetan Buddhism. The white glaze is popularly known as “sweet white”, a special glaze type developed by the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen during the Yongle reign. Smooth and glossy, the glaze color creates a sweet feeling.
