In the Guangzhou Maritime Museum, a piece of Xicun kiln ware named "bluish-white phoenix-head ewer" from the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1279) is treasured as a precious artifact. Thanks to its unique shape and exquisite decorations,  the phoenix-headed pot has been the star attraction of the museum, captivating visitors from all around the world. Jacques Kaufmann, a French ceramic artist, former president of the International Academy of Ceramics (IAC) under UNESCO, and also the former director of the ceramic department at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey, Switzerland, said that although the Song ceramics was not as technically perfect as the Ming and Qing ceramics, they better convey the feelings of the people of that time. #artandculture

在广州海事博物馆里，一件名为西村窑青白釉凤首壶的北宋瓷器被奉为馆藏珍品。它造型别致、装饰精美，千百年时光的流转，令这件凤首壶成为如今博物馆里的“流量担当”。法国陶艺家、联合国教科文组织国际陶艺学会（IAC）前任主席、瑞士沃维应用艺术学院陶艺系前任主任雅克·考夫曼（Jacques Kaufmann）表示，尽管早期宋瓷的技艺不算完美，却更能传递当时人们的情感。
