Comments
While highly skilled potters at the official kilns produced elegant shapes out of refined porcelain clay, local potters had to manage with inferior materials. The squat proportions and surface imperfections of this jar suggest its rural origins. Nevertheless, the rendering of a bird on a branch of blossoming plum was skillfully executed.
