A Chinese, Changsha kiln, wide-mouthed jar; Tang dynasty. It is covered overall with a finely-crazed, celadon glaze which terminates above the flat base, and with decorative splashes of iron-rich glaze and applique handles.
Height, 17 cm
Condition: In evcavated condition. There are numerous small chips to the underside of the rim, and patches of wear to the glaze. The upper parts of the two handles are missing. See the diagram, from the excavation report of the Changsha kiln, for an idea of how the handles would have appeared.
