This fine stoneware cosmetic box painted with an elegant, naturalistic (more often stylized) cross leaf pattern is a rare example of Cizhou ware. Cizhou wares are often distinguished by the liveliness of a brush-¬painted design in black slip onto a white slip ground, which represents the most successful use of brushwork on Chinese ceramics.
