About this work
Like the Teabowl with Tortoiseshell Glaze ( CMA 2020.177 ), this jar was made in the Jizhou kilns of southeast China. Producing a variety of innovative dark glaze types, the potter here created a dynamic abstract pattern of waves in the form of light brown strokes brushed over a dark brown glaze.
