About this work

A gui is a type of ewer, with a spout, a handle, and three legs. The elongated neck and pointed spout of this gui are reminiscent of a bird’s beak. The handle is shaped like a twisted rope. The vessel’s three wide and hollow legs made it possible to bake the earthenware directly on the fire.
