Dimensions:

Hairline to rim, frit to spout, crack to handle, chip to underside of lid

Notes:

Geese generally pair for life, and along with mandarin ducks represent marital bliss and fidelity in Chinese art. The symbolism perhaps would have translated for Western markets too, for whom such pots with shapes based on European silver or metal prototypes were intended.
