Square Yi (wine vessel) of Shi Yi

As a wine container, this Yi is unique for its proboscis-like handles on two sides. Its lid, body mouth rim and foot are all decorated with deformed animal mask motif.

Moonlight glazed Zun (vase) with protruding ridges Jun Ware

Located at Juntai, Yu County, Henan Province and as one of five famous kilns during the Song dynasty, Jun kiln has been well known for its turbid copper-brown glaze. Shaped by thick and hard clay, this Zun was then evenly embellished by rich and brightly white glaze. Imitating the style of ancient bronze, this Zun was decorated with twelve rectangular protruding ridges on its neck, body and base. In addition, the glaze on the vessel shows irregular floating stripes, just like earthworms wriggling in mud. This is a unique decoration of Jun kiln.

Ewer, Eastern Jin dynasty (ca. 317–420), second half of 4th century China

Stoneware with celadon glaze (Yue ware)H. 7 1/2 in. (19.1 cm)

Glazed stoneware was produced in southeast China as early as the eighth century B.C. However, the term "Yue ware" is usually applied only to examples made from the Three Kingdoms period through the sixth century A.D. The earliest examples include burial goods, such as models of stoves and animal pens, as well as vessels in the shape of lions, rams, or mythical creatures such as the bixie. Ewers with chicken-headed spouts appear in the second half of the fourth century. Earlier jars with purely decorative chicken heads applied to the shoulders provide possible prototypes for these distinctive vessels. The lack of decoration on this piece is typical of wares made during the fourth century, when daubs of iron oxide deliberately placed to produce dark brown spots against the green ground were the only decoration used.

Ewer, Northern Song dynasty (960–1127)

In accordance with the prevailing taste of the Song dynasty, the shape and glaze of this fine vessel are the dominant qualities, taking precedence over ornamentation. This is one of the finest examples of a ceramic type known as northern celadon ware.

The swelling body, the important but subtle glaze, and the complex design that covers the surface of this elegant ewer complement one another. The glaze, which derives its color from iron, collects in thicker pools, where more clay has been hollowed out to create the carved patterns, thus accenting the design. The ewer stands on three scowling-mask legs that terminate in paws. The handle is a serpent-leg dragon whose head forms the spout and is straddled by a diminutive rider.
