Blue and white porcelain Jar
Description: The underglaze cobalt-blue shows the expected inconsistencies in richness and density. There is clear
glaze 'piling' as seen in most early cobalt-blue glazed wares. The flat and unglazed foot exhibits what is referred to as a
'rice cracker' finish.. The foot edge shows potter's cut marks. Condition consensus is extremely fine condition without
injury or repair.

Fine Asian work of Art
This ware was jointed and its joint mark can be felt by hands. Uneven wall of
external clay body caused by irregular paring. The apparel of averted edge
and raised bottom with hollow center was formed by heavy clay body and
uneasy firing.
Chrysanthemum decoration of Yuan dynasty was beautified mostly with single
petal and rarely with double petals. It was also embellished with partial coloring,
white margins, and pistils in reticular shape or helical shape. The simple taste of
chrysanthemum decoration presented smooth lines by civil kilns.
Since Tang dynasty (618-907), peony was regarded as symbol of wealthy
social position and flourishing prosperity, so became content of adornment.
Peony decoration of underglaze-blue in Yuan dynasty was mostly painted as
peony scrolls, which showed wavelike branches, large flower, large leaves,
petal rim as white pearl necklace, and petal in hand shape.
As a result of heavy clay body and uneasy firing, there
were some situations, such as averted edges and raised
bottom with hollow center
