JIN-YUAN DYNASTY, 13TH-14TH CENTURY

Compare the very similar cut-glaze decoration on a Cizhou-type dark brown-glazed ovoid bottle of comparable size (33.3 cm. high) illustrated in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, Vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, p. 200, pl. 599. The side illustrated shows a single flower very similar to the two in one of the panels on the present jar, while the other two panels enclose peonies shown from the side.
