Nguyễn dynasty, 19th or early 20th century, Saigon, Vietnam
A fabulous cylindrical wheel-thrown stoneware jar featuring incised horizontal lines just below the slightly everted rim and a flat base. Its unglazed rough surface is completely covered with natural shell encrustation, adding to its unique character.
The Nguyễn Dynasty, the last ruling dynasty of Vietnam, followed the Nguyễn Lords and governed the unified Vietnamese state from 1802 to 1883, before falling under French protectorate. During this period, the empire expanded into modern-day southern Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, building upon centuries of territorial growth through the Nam Tiến expansion and the Siamese–Vietnamese wars. This jar reflects the artistry and historical significance of the Nguyễn era.
Good condition. Age-related wear and signs of use. Intact without repairs. Minor nicks and chips. Heavy mineral deposits and unmelted wood ash in areas. Firing flaws and kiln grit. Size approx. 16,5cm x 11,3cm x 10,8cm.
