Ming Cizhou Wine Jar, c. 1600
About the Item
This impressive glazed vessel dates to the early 17th century and was used to store wine and spirits made from rice and other grains. The Ming-dynasty jar has an elegant, tapered form and is beautifully glazed with neutral earth-tones in a style characteristic of cizhou ware.
Lotus blossoms and other florals decorate the high shoulders, expressively brushed in warm browns atop a creme-white slip base. Horizontal bands of vines and petals cascade downwards from the narrow neck, followed by a repeating pattern of large florals. Marked with wear and imperfections, the large jar has only become more beautiful with age, a testament to the timelessness of handmade pottery.
