Yuan dynasty glazed stoneware jar

Offered by: Bloomberry

Description
A Chinese Cizhou glazed jar with an abstract floral motif and decorative bands.

Cizhou glazed ceramics are a type of stoneware originating from the Cizhou region in northern China, particularly during the Song (960–1279 AD), Yuan (1271–1368 AD), and Ming (1368–1644 AD) dynasties. Known for their durable, rustic quality, Cizhou wares feature rich, earthy glazes that range from warm browns to deep blacks. Decorative techniques often include slip decoration, incising, and painting, showcasing floral, animal, and geometric motifs. Common forms include bowls, jars, and dishes, making them both functional and aesthetically appealing. Cizhou ceramics were popular in domestic markets and widely exported, influencing ceramic styles in other regions.
