A LARGE CHINESE TANG DYNASTY PAINTED POTTERY THREE-PART STUPA JAR & COVER, TAG DYNASTY (618 – 906). The three parts comprising stand, jar & cover are made from a relatively high-fired grey pottery that have been decorated with cold painted designs featuring flower blossoms and geometric patterns in red and white pigments. Around the large stand are bands of "pie crust" decoration and three large cut-out apertures.
Total height 58 cm (23 inches).
Provenance: from a Sussex collection. There are some losses to parts of the pie-crust bands, but no repair or restoration.
