NORTHERN SONG-JIN DYNASTY, 12TH CENTURY

Certain characteristics, such as the rolled lip, tall, tapering neck, striated handles, and thin caramel-colored glaze around the lower portion and inside of the vessel indicate an area of production in Henan or Hebei provinces. A closely related jar recovered from the kilns at Haobiji in Henan province is illustrated by Zhao Qingyun, Henan Taoci Shi, Beijing, 1993, pl. 27, no. 109.
