East Asia, China, early Qing Dynasty, ca. late 17th to first half of 18th century CE. A sizable, wheel-thrown pottery urn with a flared foot, a broad body with a deep basin, tall walls surmounted by a tall rim that leans gently inwards, and a pair of applied handles. The upper shoulder is decorated with a diagonally striated carination, and layers of lustrous glaze envelop the vessel in mottled hues of green and brown.
