Description
Ceramics with black glazes were first made in Zhejiang province during the Eastern Han dynasty. Several kilns in Henan province, especially in Huangdao and Lushan, produced examples of contrasting splashes of glaze in colors such as cream and white during the Tang dynasty.
This jar is one of the example too. After the initial glazing, the splashes were added by pouring them into cups that were held sideways or upside down so that they would trail around the body. The jar is mainly for storing things such as food and wine.
Also, from the design of the jar, there are white glazes but not just only the stone jar which showed that Tang Dynasty was overall prosperous that even stonewares can include different kinds of extra designs
