The Southern and Northern Dynasties (420 AD - 589 AD) period is an important period in the history of Chinese ceramics development. It was during this period that Chinese ceramic craftsmen constantly changed the glaze formula,finally achieving a mature period of celadon glaze firing. Compare a similar celadon glazed jar,unearthed from the Xiangshan kiln site in Zhejiang Province (fig. 1),and smaller celadon jar (30 cm height)(fig. 2) in the collection of Nanchang Museum,Jiangxi,China.
