The Garlic Head bottle is named for its bulbous mouth. First fired during the Song Dynasty, it was popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. This bottle is elegantly shaped, with a garlic-head-shaped mouth, a slender neck, a natural transition between the head and neck, a beautiful curve between the neck and belly, and a slightly splayed high foot ring. The bottle's decoration is clearly layered and richly composed. The blue and white color is a beautiful, deep, and intense blue, and the painting is meticulously detailed. The mouth is decorated with Ruyi cloud head patterns and double circles in blue and white. The neck is decorated with two bands of geometric patterns, and the junction of the neck and belly is decorated with scrolling cloud patterns and Ruyi cloud head patterns.
