Jar (China)
This is a Jar. It is dated 18th century and we acquired it in 1967. Its medium is molded, glazed hard-paste porcelain. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
This 18th-century Chinese porcelain jar has an exterior glaze in a color called sang de boeuf (literally, “oxblood”). Impossible to duplicate with minerals then available in Europe, the hue was sought after by European collectors and ceramicists. In China, red has long held cultural significance and is associated with happiness and good fortune.
