( x x cm), Stoneware with 'cut-glaze' floral decoration, China, 13th-14th century, This beautifully proportioned pear-shaped bottle displays an elegant floral design achieved with the so-called 'cut-glaze' technique.

The incisions combined with the resist successfully confined the glaze to the desired areas
