A lovely ensemble of 6 pottery vessels from South Asia: 4 jars, 1 bowl, and 1 cup. Adorned with fine line blue-on-white decoration, the first is an Anamese jar presenting a piriform body with a narrow neck, a flared rim, and a ring-shaped foot. Next is a celadon-glazed vessel from the Song Dynasty, exhibiting a bulbous body, brief neck, and annular rim flanked by 2 petite, loop handles, all sitting upon a narrow, discoid base. Relief decoration of floral and vegetal motifs embellishes the exterior. The final 2 jars are from the Yuan Dynasty. Enveloped in white glaze, both jars boast planar bases, broad hips, round shoulders, narrow necks, and annular rims. The jar with the narrower neck also features a pair of loop handles and is embellished by relief decoration. Size of largest: 2.4" Diameter x 3.6" H (6.1 cm x 9.1 cm)
  
  The bowl and cup both showcase hemispherical bodies, gently flared rims, ring-form feet, and blue-on-white decorated interiors. The bowl is from the Song Dynasty and displays an undulating rim with a blue border of stylized designs, a figural tondo on its basin, and rich marine deposits throughout from centuries spend on the ocean floor. Last, the cup is from the Ming Dynasty and is decorated with abstract spiral and phytomorphic patterns on the interior and exterior. Liberal remains of a handle on 1 side indicate that it may have been used as a teacup.
