Oil Jarlet Item Number: Edz1436 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
A small ceramic jar with a flattened sphere and a flat base. There are vertical striations from base to flat shoulder which is marked by slight ridge. The unglazed small mouth is set directly into the shoulder. The light yellow-white fine grained body is covered with grey-white translucent crackled glaze, pooling to an opaque white in the striations and to a light grey-green white near the base.
History Of Use
Probably produced for domestic use in a south China kiln. The general form is prototypical of one used later at Sawankhalock, Thailand in the 14th/15th centuries and broadly distributed in Southeast Asia as export ware (see #98, Fahrni, 'Within the Potter's House').
