When commenting on the glaze color of ru kiln, the predecessors said that "Sky Blue is precious, powder blue is still, Sky Blue is extremely precious" . This bottle with Sky Blue glaze and carved goose neck has a small mouth and a large bottom and a smooth "s" shape. The glazed surface is bright, and the underglaze layer is matched with a lotus pattern as if it is hidden, which has never been seen in ru kiln products handed down from generation to generation.
