Chinese Lian or Hill Jar on 3 Feet

Three little feet hold up a pale celadon pot with moderate self-regard.

This lian or hill jar on three feet is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is glazed pottery. The lian is a Chinese cylindrical vessel on three short feet, a form that is generally traced to the Han dynasty and that was often made with a lid. Cylindrical vessel with ridged bands around the body, standing on three short, rounded feet. A crackled grey-green glaze pools in the ridges, and a small chip shows at the rim.

Sturdy on its tripod, and unbothered by chips.
