A VERY RARE YUEYAO CELADON CARVED JAR WITH COVER Northern Song Dynasty (AD960-1127)

A jar with a lipped rim, straight neck, and slightly slanting shoulders that are adorned with four evenly spaced ring-shaped handles that are purely decorative. From the shoulder downwards, the belly at first curves slightly outwards, but then slants back inwards at an increasing angle. The body is embellished with an elaborate flower pattern. The veining of the petals is delicately carved, and the floral design wrapping around the entire jar is highly representative of Yue ware. The jar is covered in a celadon glaze, except at the rim and the round foot, where the brown-gray body shows. As is not often the case, the lid was preserved together with the jar, giving this item additional rarity value.
