Chicken headed ewer

Small ewer with broad, rounded shoulders, sides tapering inward to a flat base, short neck supporting a dished mouth, short spout in the form of a chicken’s head with tubular opening at beak; curved handle attached to shoulder and dished mouth, placed opposite from the chicken-head spout; two squared lugs positioned bilaterally on the shoulders to the left and right of the spout; light gray stoneware with olive-green celadon glaze over incised, molded and applique decoration; slightly concave base mostly unglazed but bears some glaze and seven marks of spurs that elevated the vessel during firing to prevent it from fusing to kiln furniture. From the Yue kilns in the Shaoxing area, northeastern Zhejiang province.
