Ewer
This ewer, for sake, has a black, lacquered background
decorated with plum blossoms and pine branches in gold. Both
are symbols of good fortune. Plum also represents early
spring whilst pine is associated with the New Year and longevity.
Lacquered objects would not have been used to hold boiling
liquid, so this object is not a teapot, despite its
appearance.
