Celadon Jar with Four Rings and Stamped Molded Floral Designs

There are four types of patterns applied to the body of the jar: flowers, grass leaves, coiled dragons, and animal masks. This was made first with separated moulds for each relief pattern, and then pasting these onto the raw body of the vessel. Finally a glaze layer was applied on top and then the vessel was fired in the kiln. The glaze suggests that this piece is a product from the Huainan kiln of Anhui province.
