A large 18th century Chinese powder blue tea jar of unusual circular form, with much of the original gold decoration still intact depicting scenes of temples in an elegant landscape at the foot of mountains, a flock of birds fly in a perfect V over head.
Powder Blue
Powder blue is a glazing technique that originated in the Ming Xuande Period (1425-1435), the cobalt blue would be blown through a tube with gauze on the end onto unglazed porcelain it would then be glazed and fired, creating this mottled blue effect.
Tea Jar
Tea jars were originally used to transport precious tea from China to the west, they were usually square in shape in order to pack together for shipping, other shapes do exist but are rarer. They are often decorated with scenes of Chinese landscapes and were very desirable to show you could afford the status that tea brought.
Now almost all are empty but they are still collectors items in their own right.
