Decorated with peony flowers, leaves, birds and other designs. These jars very often did not have lids or shared lids with other containers when in use. There is no lid included here. The foot and lip are unglazed.

Having been carefully displayed at an estate for the past 50 years this jar remains in. No hairlines are detected. There is an irregularity in the glaze at the edge of the mouth that has been there since it was first made. Some wear is visible on the glaze including fine scratches and pitting and very small spots where the enamel has separated There are normal kiln flaws to be expected with these containers like dark spots from kiln ash, smudged colors and pinhole reserves in the glaze.
