Information
The present Transitional Blue and White Porcelain jar is from a well known group which share many Kraak Ware characteristics. The shoulder decoration, quality of porcelain as well as the finish relate closely to kraak ware of the period, however this does not necessarily mean they were made at the same Jingdezhen kilns as Kraak Ware.
