Ewer, 7th-8th century, 8 5/8 x 5 1/4 x 4 7/8 in. ( x x cm), Porcelaneous stoneware with clear glaze, China, 7th-8th century, This well-preserved ewer and accompanying covered bowl were reportedly discovered together in the same tomb. They represent the popularity during early Tang for high-fired white wares made in North China at sites like Gongxian in Henan province. Both vessels rely on rather simple shapes and clear even glazes for aesthetic effect. The straight-sided bowl has a cover with foot-rims that can be used as an attendant saucer.
