    "description": "This ovoid bottle-vase has gently undulating sides, bulging out at the center and tapering at both ends to a round foot and to the neck and round mouth. The white eggshell porcelain of the body is covered in a translucent white glaze. A simple yet elegant shape and silhouette are achieved, accentuated by the serine white glaze.",
