Featuring a wide mouth, curved wall, shallow belly, and a flat bottom, this brush washer was fired multiple times. The mouth is unglazed but inlaid with golden clasps on the rim. The heart of the washer is decorated with a circlet of string patterns in which flowering branches and daylily patterns are prominently outlined with vivid splendor. The whole body is glazed in white, which takes on a milky white that reflects the serene atmosphere of this elegant vessel. Featuring simple embossed curves, this handsome brush washer made by the Ding Kiln is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of porcelain art from the Northern Song Dynasty.
