Title: Southeast Asian Vietnamese Lugged Green-Glazed JarDate/Period: Late 1920's to early 1930'sMaterials: Glazed fired claySize: 11 inches in height and 2-1/2 inch wide openingCondition: excellentAdditional Information: A glossy patinated and green glazed jar from Vietnam which I collected in Thailand almost 30 years ago. I was told by the Chiang Mai merchant that the large cache of these well-appointed pottery pieces were from the early 1930's or possibly earlier. This large grouping of almost a hundred year-old utilitarian jars date to almost the end of the French Indochina occupation in 1954. This jar was well-fired to endure the elements. I have had two large pots outside in below freezing as well as in triple-digit temperatures for over thirty years with no ill effect. The four detailed lugs may have had a long-deteriorated fiber passed through to ease transport of different foodstuffs or items..After seeing the entire cache, I noticed that the smaller jars were the only ones that had lugs, it is possible that the cache was used for decoration as well as storage. The stylized underglaze design near the top of the jar is absent from larger jars in this cache. The lugged jars had the only unfinished glaze bottoms probably due to their utilararian use. Literature: Stevenson, Guy, Cort, "Vietnamese Ceramics: A Separate Tradition" 1997. Guaranteed authenticity in perpetuity (see the photo that I took in Thailand when I found this cache).
