Upon careful observation of this masterpiece, one finds a gracefully flat body with a plump belly. The four petal-shaped ribs flow gracefully from top to bottom, exuding a sense of fullness, roundness, and fluidity. The intricate carvings and decorations are executed with skilled and deft strokes, embodying the essence of Chinese calligraphy. Despite its small size, the purple clay kettle exudes an air of precision, simplicity, and profound elegance. Holding it in one's hand and admiring it with a devoted heart brings a sense of peace and contentment.
One side of the belly is adorned with a landscape painting in ink, depicting pavilions, towers, and the rustic charm of the mountains. Another layer bears an inscription: "Every time I gaze at the moon through the bamboo shadows, I love even more to capture the white clouds of the mountains in my writing."
The ribbing and texture of the entire piece are clearly defined, exuding a vibrant vitality. No matter from which angle one views it, it presents a precise circular arc, with each part proportioned in a flowing beauty. The clay is fine, smooth, and lustrous, appearing simple yet exquisitely crafted, not achieved effortlessly.
