This is a Chinese blue and white (sometsuke) lidded jar. The rounded body is gracefully decorated with floral arabesque patterns, and the lid has a three-dimensional knob, combining practicality and decoration. The clay body has a slightly rough texture, and the glaze has a natural feel that is not too uniform. Judging from the overall construction, brushwork, and signs of use, this piece appears to be from the late Qing dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty in China. (This is just a reference opinion regarding the period and origin.) There is age-related soiling, glaze unevenness, and signs of use on the bottom and rim, but there are no major chips or cracks, and it appears to be in generally good condition for an antique. Please check the images for details. As this is an antique ceramic and antique art object, please purchase only if you understand that it is being sold as is.
