"This bowl on a high flaring foot probably was made in Kashan during the early years of the 13th century. Aside from a few touches of blue at the rim, the decoration consists of an undulating arabesque scroll which has been incised into the wall of the vessel just below the rim. The contours of the leaf forms were further defined by punching small holes in the vessel's walls which were subsequently filled by the transparent glaze. The connection of this group to Kashan is suggested by a bowl now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in which the interior of the vessel has blue and black underglaze painting in a style well known from other Kashan wares." -PPS

<p>The lid of this jar is carved with lotus petal design, crowned with the knob shaped as a lotus bud. Three refractory spurs are stuck to the inside of the lid. The shoulder of the jar is decorated with a descending willow design inlaid with white slip. The entire foot and outer base are glazed, but it is poorly fused and rough with impurities stuck to it. The lid retains a celadon color, but the jar itself is a light gray hue overall.<br />
