White Ware Covered Jar, Song Dynasty
White Ware Covered Jar, Song Dynasty
It features a smooth, rounded body with a soft white glaze that highlights its elegant, minimalist design. The lid is carefully crafted to fit securely, while the jar’s simple form is enhanced by its restrained decoration, emphasizing functionality and beauty. The small, looped handles suggest that it was likely used for practical purposes, such as storage. The surface naturally shows traces of oxidation, which developed over a long period of time while buried underground.
