Description
Stoneware pouring jug, Yuan school of China, 13th–14th century Beige stoneware with a glaze in shades of honey, green and brown. Measures 22 x 8 cm. The jug has an ovoid body with rounded shoulders, a flared cylindrical neck and an everted mouth. It features a side strap handle, a small ring handle on the opposite side, and a pouring spout attached to the shoulder. The surface displays an incised grid pattern beneath an irregular vitreous glaze with abundant splashes and streaks in olive and dark brown tones, creating a spontaneous textural effect characteristic of ceramic production from southern China during the Yuan Dynasty. The robust modelling and the vibrant colours of the glaze emphasise the utilitarian nature of the piece, elevated to an aesthetic level through the masterful firing technique. The combination of geometric incisions and fluid glazes reveals affinities with the tradition of the Cizhou kilns and other folk pottery from the Mongol period, where the expressiveness of the material took centre stage. The piece is notable for the tactile richness of its surface and the harmony of its functional proportions. 22 x 8 cm.
