Chinese Sui Dynasty White Glazed Jar with Loop Handles, 6th-7th Century
About the Item
A simple and elegant Chinese high fired white glazed jar with four lug handles, Sui Dynasty (581 to 618), probably Heibei Province.
The voluptuous jar crafted from a high fired stoneware and glazed a creamy white with a fine crackled surface. The glaze stopping about three quarters down, leaving the white porcelaneous stoneware body exposed. Four loop or lug handles decorate the high shoulder and short neck.
The glaze somewhat degraded, probably from time in the sea as part of a shipwreck. White wares such as this were produced for both the domestic and export markets, and were traded throughout Asia and the Middle East.
For a very similar example, with no glaze degradation, please see the one in the collection of the British Museum, 1968.0422.23, Sedgwick Bequest.
