Covered Jar with Carved Lotus Petals

A squat, rounded covered jar in olive-green glazed stoneware. Carved lotus petals wrap the shoulder, with pierced lug handles on either side and a lid carved with overlapping petals topped by a small knob.

Look closer: Small pierced lug handles flank the shoulder just below the lid.
