About the Item

With simplicity of form and a delicate glaze, this Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) jar for rice wine or spirits displays the quiet refinement of provincial Chinese ceramics. The earthenware form is cloaked in an ashen celadon glaze of cool, blue-grey tone, textured with firing imperfections and streaked with red-orange color from time spent buried in iron-rich soil. Described in ancient Chinese texts as the “moon dyed with spring water,” celadon vessels such as this are prized for their well-proportioned forms and luminous color. Minor chips and one small hairline crack to rim. Additional Dimensions: Diameter of Opening: 3.5"
