Song Dynasty Cizhou Jar
£300.00 GBP
Taxes included.
A rare and authentic Song Dynasty Cizhou jar, elegantly fashioned with twin loop handles. This antique Chinese stoneware exemplifies the vernacular artistry of the Cizhou kilns, prized for their sturdy forms, expressive glaze work, and inventive decoration.
The jar features a deep, rounded body rising from a robust foot, with rustic loop handles on each shoulder. Its rich, dark-brown glaze transitions into the warm buff of the exposed stoneware body, offering an organic and grounded visual contrast. The tactile surface and visible throwing rings point to both its daily-use origin and the hand of the maker.
This exceptional Song Dynasty ceramic combines authentic folk artistry with tangible historical character, making it an ideal piece for collectors, interior stylists, and museums seeking genuine Cizhou heritage.
Height: 11 cm
Condition: Very good antique condition, no repairs.
Comparison: Examples of similar loop-handled Cizhou jars are held in major museum collections and appear regularly in curated Song ceramic showcases
