Chinese Jizhou Brown Glazed 'Tortoise Shell' Pear-Shaped Vase. The bottle-form body rising from a ring foot to a slender waisted neck and everted lip, applied overall with a dark brown glaze with splashes of medium olive-brown falling in drizzling streaks, the recessed base washed in a pale brown slip, the foot ring revealing a buff-colored body. {Height: 6 5/8 inches (17 cm)}. Property from a San Francisco Collection.
