This is a high-antique porcelain piece, likely a censer or small jar, dating from the Song and Yuan dynasties of China. The overall shape is gourd-like, with a slightly smaller base, a bulging upper body, and a diamond-shaped carved pattern between the body and the rim. The body is decorated with vertical carvings. The top of the lid features a relief decoration of a lotus flower or gourd, expressing auspiciousness. The glaze color is a grayish-white with a hint of blue and a stone-like texture. Fine crackle (opening pieces) is visible, and the piece is characterized by a natural appearance that has aged over a long period. It is thought to be in the style of Ding ware or Ge ware. There are small black spots and minor scratches, but the overall condition is good, and the lid is also finely crafted and stable. It comes with a modern paulownia wood box and cloth wrapping. The label on the bottom of the box reads "Outer - 11th-12th century," suggesting an early Song dynasty or Liao-Jin style design. Please check the condition in the images. This is a piece suitable for collections of tea utensils or refined scholar's objects.
