Pottery: Unknown (Probably)
Cosmetic box and cover with chrysanthemum and peony designs. Stoneware, moulded, inlaid in black and white slip, and celadon glazed. In the centre, four peonies are inlaid in black and white slip around a small chrysanthemum medallion, and enclosed by a border of rings and a band of lotus petals. Bands of key-fret are inlaid in white slip on the sides of both box and cover. Both parts are fully covered with a bluish-green glossy celadon glaze except for the rims. The clay body is thick and the almost flat base shows three fairly large quartzite spur-marks and a rough patch where the piece touched the saqqar.
