content: Per Louise Cort, Curator for ceramics at Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, 2016, jar has two rows of bosses circling the shoulder beneath an uneven dark green translucent glaze similar to that on the bottle in the Sacker Gallery # S2005.156. Shell scars appear on the flat base. In addition to Sackler # S2005.156, E404544 appears to be from the same kiln as Sackler #s S2005.157 through S2005.177. It is Quang Duc ware, Quang Duc village, Tuy An district, Phu Yen province, Vietnam; 18th-mid 20th century. E404544 was part of a large group of Asian objects given to the NMNH by the Philadelphia Trade and Convention Center. It could have come from the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, a component of the Center, established through purchase of items remaining from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, opened in a permanent building in 1899, and closed in 1994.
