This jar has a lipped rim and a bulbous belly. It is completely covered with white glaze of a pure tint, and has a very regular shape. The craftsmanship is excellent, the ceramic body firm and well worked. Manufacturing a vessel of this considerable size is rather difficult, and the round lines running around the belly reveal traces from the casting process. It is especially rare to see a Tang jar of these proportions, and with such an attractive glaze, preserved in such good condition, making this a very valuable addition to any collection.
