Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar

The underglaze cobalt-blue shows the expected inconsistencies in richness and density. There is clear glaze 'piling' as seen in most early cobalt-blue glazed wares. The flat and unglazed foot exhibits what is referred to as a 'rice cracker' finish.. The foot edge shows potter's cut marks. Condition consensus is extremely fine condition without injury or repair.
