so-called garlic head vase (suan tou ping)

View through Europeana Collections
Compared to older ceramics, this garlic head vase shows how the proportions change over time. A pressed body passes into a broad neck, which is also a handle. The elongated “garlic head” also shows a wider opening. However, the “color of fresh garlic” was retained.
