Porcelaneous stoneware with clear glazeexpand_more
Gift of Ruth and Bruce Daytonexpand_more 2000.93.3.1
This well-preserved ewer and accompanying covered bowl were reportedly discovered together in the same tomb. They represent the popularity during early Tang for high-fired white wares made in North China at sites like Gongxian in Henan province. Both vessels rely on rather simple shapes and clear even glazes for aesthetic effect. The straight-sided bowl has a cover with foot-rims that can be used as an attendant saucer. Its shape, with indented corners, is likely derived from vessels made in silver.
