CHINESE MING POTTERY CIZHOU WARE WINECHINESE MING POTTERY CIZHOU WARE WINE JAREast Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 1368 to 1644 CE. A splendid, hand-built pottery wine jar of a sizable form from the Cizhou Ware tradition with a narrow, circular base, tall walls that expand to a sloped shoulder, a squat, cylindrical neck, and a thick, folded rim. The cream-slipped surface provides for an elegant ground atop which the mocha brown pigment forms zigzagging registers, minimalist foliate motifs, and flowing scroll designs. A wonderful wine jar replete with expert construction and attractive artistry! Size: 14.6" Diameter x 22.5" H (37.1 cm x 57.2 cm)
Despite its popularity during the Ming Dynasty, Cizhou Ware is most prominently associated with the northern Song to Yuan period of the 11th to 14th century CE. Cizhou Ware is characterized by iron-pigmented brown slip atop cream-white slip and then covered with a clear glaze to seal in the detailing. Cizhou ceramics were initially intended to be used and enjoyed by those in the middle class for storing various materials like foodstuffs or wine, and many domestic items were made in this particular style. However, the technique of sealing the painted decorations would continue to be used for later Chinese ceramics like this example.
This item is heavy/oversized and will require 3rd party shipping. Please inquire about shipping cost prior to bidding.

RARE AND RETICULATED FAHUA 'BOYS ATRARE AND RETICULATED FAHUA 'BOYS AT PLAY' LARGE JAR
MING DYNASTY, 15TH-16TH CENTURY ? ?????????of baluster form, the openwork outer layer depicting boys at play in groups in an outdoor setting, some seated with musical instruments, some attending to a large lotus pond, some playing with puppets and toys, between a band of beribboned auspicious motifs against leafy scrolls ground on the shoulder, and a border of petal lappets encircling the foot, all below a collar of crashing waves on the neck, with a finely carved hardwood stand(1)33cm highProvenance: Private Scottish collection, Edinburgh; inherited from current owner's grandfather, who was a freelance ceramic restorer and acquired this piece before the First World WarNote: Fahua, meaning designs with boundaries, is a term probably coined by connoisseurs in the 1920s, refers to a palette and style of ornament rather than a kiln site. Fahua-type wares are mostly ornamented with designs outlined in relief with brightly coloured lead-alkaline glazes from a distinctive palette. During the Ming dynasty, fahua ceramics tended to be rather large-scale, mostly vases, wine jars and garden seats. [1] The example offered here falls under the category of wine jar. For a related reticulated fahua wine jar, decorated with Eight Daoist Immortals, dated to the Ming dynasty, 16th century, is in the collection of the British Museum, museum no. 2003,0731.1. Also compare to other reticulated fahua wine jars decorated with figures, Ming dynasty, in auctions, two were offered at Sotheby's New York, 24 March 2018, lot 1542 and Sotheby's Hong Kong, 9 October 2020, lot 3616; one was sold at Christie's Hong Kong 19 Mar 2020, lot 103.[1] Harrison-Hall, J.
