Zhang family workshop

13th–14th century · Stoneware with painted decoration over white slip under clear glaze (Cizhou ware) · Asian Art

Cizhou ware was produced in kilns near Handan, Hebei province in northern China, primarily from the tenth to the thirteenth century. The products of these kilns were generally for practical use and included bottles, bowls, cups, vases, and pillows—often with lively decorations in brown or black pigment on a pale background. Floral designs and landscapes with figures from folktales are typical decorative themes.
