Using a secondary firing process, the white clay body is coated with lead glaze and then fired at a low temperature of 800 ℃. The glaze color is based on yellow, green, and white, with overlapping colors such as ochre and blue to form a mottled gradient effect. The multi-color blending effect formed by the flow of glaze layer is an important feature for distinguishing authenticity, and rare blue glaze spot dyeing techniques have also appeared on unearthed artifacts in Henan. The glazed surface of the object has fine cracks, and white bodies can be seen in some areas where the glaze layer has peeled off. The prototype can be traced back to Persian Sogdian silverware, but the eagle head was replaced with a phoenix head symbolizing auspiciousness, and Chinese style lotus petals and rolled grass patterns were added. The handle design retains the practicality of the bottle's duckbill flow, but achieves artistic sublimation through the phoenix crown shape at the handle end. The combination of honeysuckle pattern and pomegranate pattern reflects the innovative fusion of Buddhist art and Persian art
