Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Jars of this sort are quite common. For example, another such jar is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. For another in the British Museum see BM 1947.0712.193. This style of underglaze blue painting appears first in the late Wanli period. Interestingly wild parts of south-eastern Taihe in Jiangxi province were tiger-infested in the Ming era.
