The sides are divided into five lobes below a short neck and flared, rolled rim and the jar is covered overall with a clear glaze over a white slip, except for the flared, knife-trimmed foot and the base, which are covered with a white slip only. 
 
This Five Dynasty white Ding ware lobed jar is a truly exceptional piece of pottery, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship and artistry of the period (AD 907-960). The jar's unique lobed shape is a testament to the skill and creativity of the artisans who crafted it, and its smooth white glaze adds an elegant and refined touch to the piece.
