Lot Essay

This rare ewer can be attributed to the kilns at Huangpu in Tongquan, Yaozhou county, Shaanxi province, which started producing brown and black-glazed wares during the 7th century. A related brown-glazed ewer of slightly smaller proportions (14.8 cm. high) from the Meiyintang Collection is illustrated by R. Krahl in Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. I, London, 1994, p. 132, no. 215.
