Description of works【Luxurious storage jar】
Under the mouth, whose rim is folded inward, there are rings for a cord used to fasten the lid and six lugs on its shoulders, attached as key design elements. The subtly yellow body is the result of the recipe for the glaze and the way in which it was fired. The part under the mouth turned dark green due to the glaze pooling there. This is a large jar with a dignified appearance, exemplifying the impressive celadon of China made during the Northern and Southern dynasties.
