Did you know?
While ceramic might not be your choice for a pillow, it actually kept the user cool as they slept.
Description
This ceramic pillow in the form of a cloud–a design pattern variously referred to as ruyi, the shape of a head of an auspicious scepter–is a fine example of qingbai ware from Jiangxi province. It has a pure white body covered with a transparent, glassy glaze that carries a faint greenish tinge, thus giving its another name yingqing, or "shadow blue". On the surface of the pillow is a carved and incised design of repeating wave patterns. The beauty of this piece lies in its elegance of form, simplicity of design, and delicacy of workmanship.
