Yuan Dynasty Chinese porcelain Jar, with ancient warrior charging into a battle atop a mustang. The horse is known in ancient times to symbolize perseverance, speed, power, and strength. Sturdy porcelain jar with robust shoulder region curving into a feminine waist that extends all the way to the bottom forming the raised circular base. The exterior is encapsulated in cobalt blue foliage and atmospheric cloud form. The foot rim reveals the cut edges during the making process, and the base left unglazed with grayish creme-brown ground and dark spots of firing marks. The Yuan period was dominated by foreign occupation by the nomadic tribes of Mongolia. Europe diplomatic and religious interest in China grew during the Yuan dynasty, and missionaries arrived for the first time. Marco Polo of Venice worked for 17 years in the service of Khubilai Khan, grandson of the Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan. Faced with discrimination by foreign rulers, the educated Chinese recalled their past and turned their energies to art and culture, including theater, influenced by Daoism, painting, and poetry. The Daoist Eight Immortals became popular in decorative arts.
