Chinese pottery and porcelain : an account of the potter's art in China from primitive times to the present day . ntedby a duck. The whole is coated with an iridescent green glaze. A few choice specimens of green-glazed Han pottery in theS. T.

The last is a grain jar whichderives its form from a granary tower. In some instances the tiledroof of the tower is represented by tile-mouldings on the shoulder ;but in this instance the form is entirely conventionalised into acylindrical vase supported by three bear-shaped feet. The bear,an emblem of strength, is commonly employed in this capacityin Han art. Another ornamental form borrowed from a homelyobject is the model of a well-head, of cylindrical shape, with archedsuperstructure, in the centre of which a pulley-wheel is repre-sented. The well bucket is usually added, resting on the edge ofthe well. * See Burlington Magazine, December, 1913, where it is published with a note onthe inscription by F.
