Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This type of jar would originally have had a domed hexagonal overhanging cover with a knob finial. A hexagonal jar and cover of identical shape and with the same blue-and-white decoration, and with an apocryphal Xuande reign mark in a double square on the base, was excavated at Taizhou, Jiangsu, from the tomb of Liu Xiang (1495-1541) and of his wife Mme Qiu (1496-1558). The jar was one of only two ceramics included in the burial which otherwise is renowned for its textiles, including male and female clothing.
