Description: Wide-mouthed baluster jar. Grey stoneware, thrown and turned, covered in white slip, and painted in iron-brown/black under a dribbly, clear glaze. The jar has a wide mouth and high, swelling shoulders tapering to a nearly cylindrical lower portion, splayed foot and base recessed in two levels. The decoration is painted underglaze in dark-brown pigment, and organised in three principal horizontal bands. The central band has three small landscape scenes in lozenge-shaped panels, one with a crane, a second with a seated figure and a third with a rabbit. In the spandrels are closely painted and spiral patterns. The bands above and below the central band are decorated with large chrysanthemums with spiralling centres and corkscrew-like leaves. The foot and base are without slip and are unglazed. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | jar Unknown stoneware | Temporal: | name=Ming; start=1400; end=1600 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
