Provenance
(Parish-Watson Gallery, New York), by 1917; sold to Harry G. Steele [1881-1942], Pasadena; his widow, Grace C. Steele [d. 1974]; gift 1972 to NGA.
Technical Summary
There are two gold lacquer repairs on the lip, and the foot-ring has one chip. A pontil ring appears on the base. The vessel tipped slightly during firing; as a result, the glaze on the interior has pooled to one side.
