White Porcelain Jar

  • H 16.5cm MD 8.9cm BD 9.2cm
  • High Tang, 8th century
No.21075

White porcelain jar covered inside with high-fired ash black glaze. This shape of jar is often seen in Sancai rather than white porcelain.
While this type of jar have been made in High Tang and continued to Late Tang, considering the period when the white porcelain covered outside with black glaze was made, it is believed that this piece may be attributed to High Tang.
