Descriptif du lot

The present jar has a flared mouth with rounded lip, a short, constricted neck, and a long, rounded body tapering to a flat base. The exterior is covered in sancai-glaze. Imposing in scale at over half a metre high, the present jar is exceptionally well potted and appears to be unique.

Compare with a related smaller sancai-glazed ‘floral medallion’ jar, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 1 June 2016, lot 3104.

The result of Oxford thermoluminescence test no. C100a95, issued on 25 January 2000, is consistent with the dating of this lot.
