Context:
Stonewares covered with black, dark brown, or very dark blue glazes were produced throughout northern China during the Tang period (618-906). Black glazes appear to have been used primarily to decorate common objects rather than those intended for court or as burial goods. Similar glazes continued to be used for household goods during the Northern Song period (960-1127), and stonewares of this type remain difficult to date precisely.
The very bulbous body of this wide-mouthed jar, which was probably used for storage, suggests that it dates to the 8th or 9th century because many smaller jars of a similar shape date to the Tang period. In comparison, Song-period examples of this type of jar generally have much straighter sides.
