MING DYNASTY, 14TH CENTURY

The undecorated, exterior of this jar serves to emphasize its well-potted shape as well as its attractive glaze. Compare the similar undecorated Longquan celadon jar, with cover, dated early to mid 14th century, illustrated by R. Krahl in Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, vol. I, Yuan and Ming Dynasty Celadon Wares, London, 1986, p. 293, no. 215.
