- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Song to Yuan Dynasty, ca. 960 to 1368 CE. A beautiful Cizhou stoneware pottery jar presenting intricately incised floral motifs around the broad body. The spherical body rests atop a squat foot and features a dark ground behind the flowing flowers that at one time exhibited a lustrous brown or black color. Dispersed across the rounded shoulder are a pair of petite handles as well as one large, trifurcated handle that enable the liquid contained within to be poured from one of the three narrow spouts surrounding the rim. Size: 8.3" Diameter x 8.3" H (21.1 cm x 21.1 cm)
Despite its popularity during the Ming Dynasty, Cizhou Ware is most prominently associated with the northern Song to Yuan period of the 11th to 14th century CE. Cizhou Ware is characterized by iron-pigmented brown slip atop cream-white slip and then covered with a clear glaze to seal in the detailing. Cizhou ceramics were initially intended to be used and enjoyed by those in the middle class for storing various materials like foodstuffs or wine, and many domestic items were made in this particular style. However, the technique of sealing the painted decorations would continue to be used for later Chinese ceramics like this example.
