Tang Dynasty Xing ware White Porcelain Two Handles Bottle with inscription "Daying"

A white porcelain bottle fired at the Xingzhou kiln during the late Tang Dynasty.
It has a sturdy body with broad shoulders, and a stepped neck at the base, which tapers dramatically.
The mouth is wide and high, with a deep, smooth interior.
Two angular, claw-like handles adorn the shoulder, and it is decorated with stud-like ornaments.
The foot is flat with a slight indentation in the center, and the inscription "大盈(Daying)" is found inside the foot.
"Daying" refers to the Daying Treasury, a private treasury established by the Tang Dynasty emperors. Managed by eunuchs, it housed treasures and valuables presented from various regions for special expenses and rewards within the court.
Porcelain bearing this inscription is thought to have a close connection to the Daying Treasury.
The white clay, characteristic of northern kilns, produces a high-pitched sound when lightly tapped.
A translucent glaze is carefully applied to the entire exterior, while the interior remains unglazed, allowing the natural texture of the clay to be seen.
The exquisite milky white glaze and smooth, beautiful sheen are characteristic of the perfected white porcelain of the late Tang Dynasty.
The various curved shapes fully showcase the beautiful and smooth surface of Xing ware.

As an artifact that has been excavated and passed down through generations, there are several pieces of soil attached to the base, suggesting its age.
