This ewer probably was made on the 12th century. It is from the Song Dynasty era.

This ewer probably from the Southern Song dynasty. Although I am not sure about which exact province or kiln that produced this.

Here are the measurement of the ewer. It is a small ewer. Probably for drinking tea?

I also like the colour of the ewer! It is olive colour! I didn’t know the Chinese fancy this kind of colour!
