About this work
Ting [Ch] with a deep cauldron covered by a domed lid surmounted by three bird-like forms. The three legs on the body of the vessel are modelled in the form of bears. The two handles are shaped as rectangular loops bent outward. An abstract, swirling pattern is painted on the cover and on the upper section of the body of the vessel above the narrow flange which divides the body of the vessel horizontally.
