Ewer
907-1125 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
This ewer was made in a northern kiln, at a time when two Chinese dynastic rulers co-existed. North China came under the rule of a nomadic people called the Qidan, who established the Liao dynasty. South China continued to be ruled by the Song dynasty emperors. Liao ceramics are generally plainer than their Song counterparts. Vessels with green lead glaze are typical Liao products.
