Chinese Ceramic Vessel

Creamy round jar with a handful of small loop handles at the shoulder.

This glazed pottery vessel from Jingdezhen is from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, China, and is contemporary. Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province is often called the porcelain capital of China, and its kilns have operated for about a thousand years. Plump storage-style jar with a short neck, a wide opening and four little lug handles around the shoulder. The glaze is a warm cream with fine crazing, thinning near the base to a plain unglazed look. It is 11.5 inches high and 13.5 in diameter.

Plain, practical, and wearing its good looks lightly.
