A customer was appreciating the white jade "Tang Priest Pot" in a jewelry
shop in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province on Oct. 15. It is learned that the pot
was carved in a natural white jade from Kunlun Mountains by Zhu Shiping,
a Yangzhou industrial artist. It took him two months to complete it. The
spout looks like the head of the Tang Priest, and the top resembles a
Buddha hat. The Chinese character of "Fo" (Buddha) in the Xing
calligraphy becomes the handle, with decoration of a cassock on the body.
The unique sculpture and its creativeness reached the peak of perfection.
