Description

Blue and White Porcelain Zhadou (leys jar or slops jar) have a compressed globular body with a trumpeting neck. Jars of this shape are called zhadou, aka “slops jars” as they were primarily used for food or drink wastes. This zhadou features a beautiful floral spray design with a thin Greek key design in the middle of the vase and topped with a palmette motif on the rim of the vase. It has Qianlong mark although it is late 19th Century. This small vase is perfect for uplifting a small bouquet of flowers.
