A Chinese Blue-and-White Crackle-Glazed Lidded Jar with Gilt Brass Bands, Marked A finely decorated blue-and-white porcelain lidded jar featuring a classic crackle-glazed ground and bold hand-painted foliate scrolls in deep cobalt tones. The body is encircled with elegant scrolling borders, complemented by gilt brass banding to the mid-section and rim, giving the piece a distinctive and refined presentation. The jar has a rounded compressed form with a flared mouth and a well-fitted domed lid. The underside bears a four-character mark in underglaze blue. The prominent crackle glaze, combined with the deep cobalt decoration and applied gilt metalwork, suggests a piece made in the traditional style. A visually striking decorative object with strong antique character, ideal for collectors of Chinese export porcelain and blue-and-white ceramics. Height: 11 cm Condition: Age-related crazing throughout (consistent with intentional crackle glaze), light surface wear, and patination to the gilt brass bands; no major structural damage visible.
