Lot Essay

It is very rare to find a Jiajing jar of this design with a striking combination of rich green and aubergine enamels. No other identical example appears to have been published. The enamels on the jar are characteristic of those found on imperial Jiajing wares, such as a green-enamelled zhadou incised with phoenix motifs in the Palace Museum, illustrated in Imperial Porcelains from the Reign of Jiajing, Longquan and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, 2018, no. 162.
