Melon-Shaped Ewer with Cover 12th-13th century

This 12th-13th century "Melon-Shaped Ewer with Cover" is a fine example of Chinese stoneware, crafted by an anonymous artist. Its form, resembling a melon, showcases the artistic skill and aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The ewer's delicate, green-tinged glaze, applied over the white stoneware, enhances the natural beauty of the object, creating a smooth and slightly textured surface. The ewer's simple yet elegant form and its distinctive melon shape make it a fascinating and historically significant piece of Chinese ceramics.
