Rockefeller 3rd Collection Rights: http://www.asiasociety.org Context: The history of pottery in Southeast Asia reflects complicated relationships among the ceramics of the region's different countries and peoples, as well as with the ceramics of China to the north. The lush and rhythmic peony scroll encircling the body andthe lions and deer on the shoulder of this Vietnamese blue-and-white storage jar derive from Chinese prototypes. The evolution of a tradition of stoneware painted with underglaze blue in northern Vietnam during the late 14th or early 15th century is closely tied to the histories of China and Vietnam. It is generally acknowledged that the technology needed to control painting with underglaze cobalt blue on a white porcelain body had been mastered in China by the mid-14th century. The Ming-period Chineseannexation of Vietnam from 1407 to 1428 and the imperial Chinese prohibition of the ceramic trade from 1436 to 1465 spurred the development of the Vietnamese ceramic industry in the 15th century. The introduction of blue-and-white technology is the most noticeable effect of these two historical events and has led to much speculation regarding the possibility of Chinese potters immigrating to Vietnam. Originally used in Vietnam to replace the underglaze iron decoration common on ceramics made duringthe 13th and 14th centuries, underglaze cobalt blue quickly became the most common color for painting Vietnamese ceramics. But although the technology and peony motif on this jar derive from China, the heavier body and greater freedom in the painting of designs differentiates this Vietnamese piece from its Chinese counterparts.
