AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stoneware jar decorated with cobalt pigments under a transparent glaze.
The vase features an annular foot, a bulbous body and a gently rounded shoulder pierced by a circular opening ringed with lotus petals.
Below the petals, two horizontal bands are followed, at the center, by alternating motifs of chrysanthemums and tendrils.
Near the base, three abstract motifs, perhaps evoking cloud swirls, are visible.
The base is unglazed.
It is a piece with a squat, highly decorative form.
The vase is fluidly decorated with a botanical motif, all enclosed within double blue circles and with an upper border motif around the top of the vase.
Piece probably recovered from the Hoi An Shipwreck (14th/16th century), which constitutes one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries in Asia.
Ca. 1400–1500 CE.
