    The Barlow Collection

    A related jar without cover in Japan is dated in accordance with AD 1080 by an inscription engraved before firing. The piece is similar to the jar [LI1301.211], also in the Barlow Collection. The cover on the present piece is, however, unusual in fitting over the neck of the jar rather than inside it. It is also rather large in proportion and probably belonged originally to a another, larger jar.

    The tall ovoid jar has a low curved section below and four bulging bands further up, a cylindrical neck and a splayed foot with a low footring. Five tall polygonal tubes are attached around the upper part. The domed cover fits over the neck of the jar and has an everted wavy rim with four cut-out notches and a hollow, bud-shaped knob. The central part of the jar is decorated with a design of incised and combed petals, which is repeated on the cover. The upper two registers and lowest part of the jar and the knob of the cover are incised with vertical ribs, those at the lower part joined at the top to form simple petals. The foot and neck are plain. The piece is covered with a light green glaze which leaves free a wide ring inside the cover and was scraped from the footring and base. The biscuit has burnt a reddish tone.
