About the Item

Warped by fire and eroded by time, this ceramic storage jar from Yunnan province is a testament to the wabi-sabi beauty of provincial Chinese pottery. Dated to the 15th/16th century, the wide-mouth jar is an example of the lesser-known blue and white pottery wares of southwest China, decorated with freeform brushwork and an earth-toned palette. The rounded shoulders are painted with underglaze designs of leaves and swaying grasses, finished with a translucent glaze of greenish, celadon tone.
