Re: Eastern Jin jar with iron spots. |

Message Hi Chris, I nearly missed seeing your message, it was a long while ago that I posted this jar & I must admit to being slightly surprised that it aroused no interest at the time as this type of early Yue jar seems to be quite rare. There is a slightly smaller, fairly similar example in He Li`s book "Chinese ceramics, new standard guide", in fact the same jar is also shown in Margaret Medley`s excellent book "the Chinese potter" The dimensions of this jar are height 4 3/4", (12cm) & diameter appx 5 1/4", (13.5cm) Due to financial difficulties I`ve had to downsize my collection quite a lot over the last year or two, really just keeping the best, (IMO) pieces so this is the only early Yue piece I have at the moment but I do hope to be in a position to start collecting again soon. Anyhow I`m glad someone else noticed this & also finds it interesting. All the best, Phil. Post a Response |
