About the Item
This impressive glazed vessel dates to the early 17th century and was used to store condiments or pickles in a Ming-dynasty kitchen. The grand jar has an elegant, tapered form and is beautifully glazed with neutral earth-tones in a style characteristic of cizhou ware. Loosely brushed characters and botanical motifs decorate the shoulders and sides, painted in warm browns atop a creme-white slip base. The characters are surrounded by expressive brushwork in stylized patterns of clouds, petals and vines. Marked with wear and imperfections, the large jar has only become more beautiful with age, a testament to the timelessness of handmade pottery.
