About the Item

This globular jar of a large size is traditionally called a Hu.

Photographed and with a certificate stamp stating this left the country in 1999. Under the Han rule life and prosperity flourished. The production of pottery was greatly increased and standardized making it a staple throughout the country and was used in many ritual burials. Techniques and glaze standards rose. This piece is both incised and has a lovely large banded area of light olive green glaze with a straw glazed top and bottom.
