It consists of three parts: cover, tank and base. The lid of the jar simulates a seven-fold phase wheel, increasing layer by layer from top to bottom, equivalent to a pagoda. The top of the jar is a molded monkey sitting with hanging legs, looking like a gaze; the jar has round lips, a small mouth, plump shoulders, and a bulging belly. The lower abdomen is tapered and supported by twelve stacked molded lotus petals. The base of the jar is a square pavilion-style building with an octagonal platform underneath. The decorative patterns are divided into four groups. One statue is stacked on each side of the square pavilion. The four corners of the molded seated Buddha are stacked with an auspicious bird with its head and tail raised and its wings spread. There is a round niche on each side of the square pavilion, with a pinched animal head on the inside. Attach a plastic weight-bearing tote. The utensils have unique shapes and rich decorations. The glaze color is jet black and shiny, with partial ocher color. The glaze is applied to the upper edge of the base plate. Gray-brown fetus, thick and hard.
