This celadon pot has a grayish white body and is coated with greenish yellow glaze both inside and outside. However, parts of the interior wall and the whole exterior tail bottom area have no glaze. The pot has a cocoon-like body with an upward spout, a round belly, and a slightly contracted waist. The “tiger” is in a prostrated position with its four three-clawed feet curled under its body. The chi is lively and vividly shaped with an arched waist, which serves as the handle of the pot, a long curled tail, and a number of straight lines engraved on its back.
