PLATE XC

Jar with ovoid body, short transversely corrugated neck,

and wide mouth ; two pairs of loop handles on the shoulder.
Buff stoneware with thick black glaze of great richness and
lustre. The glaze is thicker on the upper portion of the jar
and looks as if the jar had been glazed (before firing) on the
upper portion and then had been dipped in glaze to cover
the lower portion, the foot-rim being subsequently wiped

clean.

Tz'ii Chou ware. 15th century. H. 10".
In the possession of Mr. J. Baird.
