    "They were used as receptacle for grains used for ceremonial burial purposes. It symbolises prosperity for the descendents as in the local dialect , many tubular spouts (多角) sounds like much grains (多谷)."


    There is a picture of a similar piece, somewhere in the middle:

    And a finer example:
    http://www.alaintruong.com/archives/2015/02/25/31602727.html

    "Grain jars like the present piece with tubular sockets on the shoulder, which typically do not connect to the inside, were primarily made in the 11th century and are unique to the kilns of Longquan.

    So, the big question, do I have an old piece or a reproduction?
    Also, there is reddish pigment mixed with the green on the cover, any idea how and why?
