Measurements:Overall height 15 cm / 5.91 inches, maximum width across opening 15 cm / 5.91 inches,7th to 10th Century Tang DynastyCondition & Provenance:The jar body is fully intact without penetrating cracks, both bridge‑style handles are complete. Partial glaze loss on exterior surface is original excavated condition, no cracks or modern restoration, glaze carries natural aged crackle. Unglazed foot shows authentic burial soil encrustation, no later‑added glaze or artificial grinding. This artifact comes from an ancient Chinese ceramics collection in Hong Kong. It was acquired by a private Tang‑ceramic specialist collector in Richmond, Virginia in 2025 and stored in temperature‑controlled dark cabinet storage.Object Description:This yellow‑glazed splash‑color two‑handle jar is a representative daily‑use ceramic vessel fired at southern Chinese kilns during the Tang Dynasty. It features flared mouth, short neck, full rounded belly tapering toward lower body and flat ring foot. A pair of symmetric bridge‑shaped lugs sit on the shoulder for cord handling. The exterior is covered with warm yellow‑brown glaze with two large spontaneous kiln‑transformation splash‑color patches. The glaze flows and blends freely with mottled washes of white, blue and reddish‑brown tones, a distinctive artistic effect of Tang kiln‑changed glaze. Fine wheel‑throwing spiral lines are visible across outer wall. Glaze does not fully cover the lower body; the entire base foot exposes coarse earthenware body coated with ancient burial dirt. Splash‑color kiln transformation was a highly distinctive decorative technique in Tang China. The colorful patterns formed naturally by kiln heat instead of hand‑painting, every single piece bears one‑of‑a‑kind splash markings. This sturdy rustic jar retains its full excavated original condition with attractive dynamic splash‑color effects. It serves as valuable physical reference for researching Tang folk ceramic‑making technology and Tang‑period material aesthetics, holding solid archaeological reference value and antique ceramic display‑collecting appeal.
