"The pot is placed upside down when pouring in water, which flows in from a plum-shaped hole at the bottom. The pot is filled up when water spills from the spout. When the pot is put upright, the pouring-in tube holds the water so that the bottom hole doesn't leak." An ingenious design to eliminate having a lid on a tea-pot. Green-glazed bottom filled pot, Northern Song Dynasty (960~1127AD) photo # asch4162 |
