Winepot

These kilns were being used to fire porcelain winepots.

They exclaimed over teapots and dessertware in the forms of stylized cauliflowers, pineapples, cabbages, and Chinese melon-shaped winepots.

In the temples, wine was heated in small antique winepots of charmingly engraved bronze and served with elaborate courtesy by men whose every movement betokened an inner harmony of spirit coupled with the utmost grace of body and limbs.
