Pale celadon globular jar with a flared neck and small scroll-shaped loops at the shoulder, on a plain background.

Globular Jar with Four Loops

A globular jar with a tall, slightly flared neck and a low foot, glazed in a pale greenish-cream tone. Four small loops, two of them scroll-shaped, are applied at the shoulder, and the glaze pools softly at the base. The jar stands alone against a plain grey backdrop.

Look closer: Small scroll-shaped loop on the upper left shoulder and a tiny chip on the foot.
