This is a stunning vintage jar / vase with heavenly blue foliage and bird (quail, perhaps) in the underglaze.

A rather uncommon process. Potiche style similar to the Chinese Chia-ching period. Small crowned lid fits comfortably on top.

Excellent condition with no cracks or chips. I acquired this jar in 2001 from a Toronto Canada dealer in unusual and rare ceramics. Circa 1960 – 1970s.   Stands are not included.  8.5″ tall x 9″ in largest diameter.
