Description
In the 900s, potters in southeast China excelled in producing white ceramics, including bluish-white (qingbai; 青白) glazed ware. The Keithleys’ jar was made when the qingbai ware–producing kilns were most active and manufactured their finest ware. The jar is missing its cover, which would have been flat with a loop in the center so that it could be tied in place with a string or silk cloth.
