Two beautiful terracotta pottery jars covered with a ox blood to chestnut-coloured glaze. The bulbous bodies taper into a slender neck with flared rim. The shoulders are decorated with wavy pattern swishes. It was not until the Tang dynasty that low-fired lead silicate glazes were revived and with renewed vitality since their origin during the Han dynasty. With novel methods of preparation that resulted in greater stability, the glazes were able to survive in pristine states, as in the present jars. less
