Item No.: 1700
Name: A Yaozhou ware celadon lei or pou vessel with four ram’s heads and taotie decoration
Period: Song dynasty
Height: 25.5 cm
Four ram’s heads and taotie decoration give this celadon vessel a distinctive presence. The glaze links its sculptural details with the surface patterns. The collection identifies the form as either a lei or a pou, retaining both terms. The piece invites comparison between the visual language of ancient bronzes and its reinterpretation through ceramic material and glaze.
