Jug with handle in the form of a lion. China Tang period (618 - 906). Glazed stoneware. Under the glaze this jug is also white. The clayused for this jug is free of any elements which change colour during firing and has therefore remained white. The white stoneware of the late Tang period was the forerunner of the later porcelain. On loan from Mrs E.J. Erdman-Visser.
