| A rich variegated glaze elevates this 19th century Chinese storage jar above its past status as a household utility item. Its earthy appeal is a product of Jiangsu Province, where for centuries clay and expertise have combined to make both pottery and porcelain that earned the area a reputation as China's ceramics center. A blue glaze appears in a liberal dusting around the shoulder of the vessel, which then changes to purplish brown around the widest part and back to a subtle blue dusting toward the foot. The glaze ends in a precise line to show a few inches of clay around the foot. The top rim is nicely done with a brown lip dipping inward to a band of blue with a thin inner edge of brown. The inside of the jar is unglazed. It is in excellent condition. Dimensions: height 10" (26 cm), diameter 12-1/2" (32 cm). | |||||||||
