The interesting brown inclusions take the place of the painted designs. The bottle is well made in good proportions, just like its porcelain prototypes. The surface is well polished and has a matte finish. The round raised foot is well done and the bottle's opening is wide, a good sign of age. It is matched with a green stone top and a black collar which adds interest. See less
