The box is greenish blue The surface is smooth, with fine cracks, and the inside of the vessel is also covered with a thin layer of light blue glaze, with rough finger-pressed spiral marks left by hand throwing. The small mouth is flared, with a short "V" shaped spout, round lip, slender neck, oval belly, and short ring foot. A curved handle is attached from the neck to the upper part of the belly, with two raised ridges on the handle and two wide bands on the shoulder. This type of pot is the first to appear in Han tombs, and its shape is significantly different from that of green-glazed pottery pots of the Han Dynasty in China. This pot belongs to ancient Persian glazed pottery and should be a Central Asian artifact introduced to Hepu through the "Maritime Silk Road."
