Item Details
Description
  • Title: Chinese Transitional Jar 1620-1683
  • Size: 7” tall x 4 ½“ diameter.
  • Description:A hand painted blue and white jar from the Chinese transitional period showing the vibrancy and exploratory design that marks this period. The painting is very well laid out with areas of empty space and asymmetry.

    The ovoid porcelain jar has been hand thrown and hand painted with under glaze blue cobalt in a floral motif. I love the depiction of the magnolia tree with birds flying nearby and how one of the birds has turned his neck to look at another bird. The painter has artistically used shading in the magnolia flower petals.

    The glaze, which has a slightly blue cast, has good control stopping just above the edge of the base. The base is flat with no glaze. You can see the potter’s wheel marks in the dense white clay. It has a good weight and was not thinly potted.

    There are no marks or labels. The jar is topped with a much newer wooden lid.

    Provenance: We purchased this jar from a reputable dealer in Portland, Oregon in the mid 1990s

    MEASUREMENTS

    7” tall x 4 ½“ diameter. Weighs 1 lb 6.9 oz (650 g)

    CONDITION

    There are no breaks, chips, cracks, abrasions, or repairs. It is missing the original lid and now has a wooden lid. There is a small kiln flaw near the base. It feels like a glazed over cut.

    A very artistic Chinese porcelain from the Transitional Period that will be a star in your collection.
