A Yue Ware Celadon-Glazed Handled Jar
Tang Dynasty  (618-907)
H8.7 x W10.6 x D9 cm

This small jar is potted with a rounded body rising to a short neck, and set with a pair of applied loop handles at the shoulder. It is covered overall in a soft olive-green celadon glaze characteristic of early Yue ware, showing fine craquelure and natural kiln imperfections that attest to its age. The interior is evenly glazed, pooling to a deeper tone at the base, while the unglazed foot reveals the buff-colored body typical of the period.

A charming and well-preserved example of Tang dynasty celadon, notable for its compact form and honest kiln-fired surface.

Provenance:
Acquired from Japan in the 1990s.
Offered at Sotheby's, Hong Kong, Nov. 25, 2022, Lot 403

Condition:
Overall in good condition. Some abrasion caused by age. No restoration.


Shipping worldwide, usually 14-21 days to deliver.
