Qingbai jar

Really big late Yuan Qingbai jar! Usually large Qingbai pieces are just glazed pottery but this one is very heavy bodied (2.7kg) with a dense hard white porcelaneous clay from Dehua or Jingdezhen. The shape and style has a strong Ming affinity ergo; the late Yuan attribution. The glaze looks better in real life than the photos indicate with a blue hue I am not able to capture. There are some large white “pock marks” on one side that appear to be kiln grit that has been pick out and then ground down, big firing crack in center of foot as well as some hairlines noted in enlargements (well at this price, less than perfect is to be expected). Still when the good side is turned facing out, it is a lovely item. H: 20.cm/7.9in and D: 23cm/9in.
