Tea-dust Glazed Zun Vessel with “Sacrifice” Ears

This zun imitates the appearance of ancient bronze ware with symmetrical handles on either side of the neck. The interior and exterior walls as well as the interior of the base is glazed with “tea dust”. The name of the glaze refers to its resemblance to finely ground tea leaf. The word “sacrifice” in the title of this vessel refers to a type of animal used as sacrifice in ancestral temple halls.
