Product description

Period: Late 20th century
Country of origin: China
Good condition according to its age and use
Dimensions: 42.5 x 19.5 x 19.5 cm.
Base diameter: 7 cm.
Exotic Chinese jar made of high-fired stoneware. It features a robust body and traditional shape: a bulging belly on a narrow base, a short neck, and a fitted lid with an acorn knob on a hemispherical base. The piece is completely glazed in dark brown and beige, with a glossy finish that reveals subtle chromatic variations resulting from firing.
The front surface of the jar features a calligraphic inscription in Chinese, made in negative relief directly on the clay in a golden tone. Although the inscription has not yet been translated, it could be a workshop signature, a verse, or a good luck phrase, as is common in Chinese ceramic tradition.
Despite its sobriety, this piece stands out for its aesthetic strength: the contrast between the contained form, the lustrous finish, and the golden inscription creates a very elegant compositional balance.
