Brush Washer in Shape of a Leaf
A porcelain brush washer shaped like a broad leaf, its surface covered in a pale celadon-green glaze. Incised lines mark the central rib and side veins, and a short stem curls up at the left end. Three small pinholes in the base suggest the firing supports used in manufacture.
Look closer: Small pinholes from firing supports are visible on the lower edge and base of the dish.
