Antique Chinese Green Celadon Jar, Song Dynasty.

An antique Chinese celadon jar from the Song Dynasty, Zhejiang province. The vessel features a globular form with four loop handles, its green glaze displaying natural craquelure and centuries of patina.

Incised decoration depicts ducks among lotus flowers and leaves – powerful cultural symbols of prosperity and purity. The harmonious form, subtle glaze variegation and incised motifs reflect the refined elegance of Song ceramics.

Measurements: 14 cm height, 15 cm diameter, 696 g.

Condition: looks very good overall, but there is an enamel crack near one of the handles, and two body cracks. One small crack runs along the top rim near a handle and ends where the handle starts. The other is more extended, located on the side with the floral motif, running about 5 cm down to the top of the flower. Both cracks are very thin and almost invisible against the green background, but they are present. Otherwise, the pot remains in excellent condition for its age.
