Who doesn’t want such a beautiful kettle?The Song-Dynasty kettle measures 18.3 centimeters in height and 14.3 centimeters in waist diameter. Its spout on the bottom is in the shape of a mother lion and her cub. To refill the kettle, one needs to place it bottom-up first. Water pours out from the mouth of the mother lion.
