Covered spherical jar

Covered spherical jar with flat, slightly recessed base; shoulders slope inward to a wide, rimless mouth; slightly domed lid with crimped “piecrust” ridge at midpoint and knob in the form of a lotus bud; stamped triangles and dotted circles encircle the shoulders, incised floral scrolls encircle the body between incised horizontal lines; incised lotus petal decoration on top of lid, radiates outward from the knob; light gray stoneware with dark olive-green celadon glaze covers jar’s interior and exterior but stops above the foot; several drips of glaze stretch down toward the foot; kiln grit adheres to unglazed base. Place of manufacture uncertain, probably northern China.
