While the design of this jar differs from the one on the previous page, it shares multiple characteristics with that jar: the use of sky-blue over brown glaze, the willingness to "drown" the appliqué figures in glaze, and the deliberate thick beading of the glaze on an otherwise unglazed foot. The jar is 8 3/4 inches (22 cm) tall. For a second view of the jar, please click here.
