A Cizhou Blackish Brown Glazed Stoneware Foliate Jar, Northern Song Dynasty

About the Item

The jar is covered with a deep, warm blackish-brown glaze. The glaze is smooth and even, with a soft sheen. The foliate rim has a gentle, wave-like design that gives the jar a natural and organic feel. The body features vertical incised lines that expose the light-colored clay beneath the dark glaze, creating a clear contrast. These lines highlight the jar's rounded shape and add a sense of dynamic move. The unglazed base shows the creamy, light-toned stoneware typical of Cizhou kilns, offering insight into its firing technique and age.
