The Gong County kiln is one of the renowned kilns of the Tang dynasty, producing a wide variety of items, many of which were everyday utensils. It is also known for its sancai ware. Most Gong ware has a white, black, or sancai finish. This jar has a curved belly, and two lugs are attached to its sides. About two thirds of the vessel are covered with black glaze, which was allowed to run from the edge towards the foot without reaching it. Instead, it dried into distinct tears on the body's surface. The finely worked ceramic body, visible in the lower parts of the jar, is of a near-white hue.
