The decoration of this large jar features fan-shaped leaf patterns and swirling lines deftly painted with black iron pigment over a thin layer of white clay. After the artist applied the painted decoration, the jar was covered with a transparent glaze and fired. This jar is typical of Cizhou ware produced in northern China and imitates contemporary all-white stoneware vessels with carved or molded decoration.
