If anyone with deeper knowledge of Song dynasty Yaozhou wares sees this, please provide your opinion.
This small Yaozhou kiln jar was obtained long ago when I understood little about Yaozhou :) and I always viewed it with doubt. However, since then I have progressed in view to the more ancient Song kilns...and it looks as if it might be right.
The pictures below shows the finger impressions around the foot rim from glazing, and the interior shows some of the dye that was applied on the inside of the foot rim and bottom. I know this as one of the typical Yaozhou features, but not all items have this.

What I'm unsure about is the rounded foot rim shape. I would have expected this to be flat. Any comments in respect to this would be appreciated, if you are knowledgeable with Yaozhou wares or know of a reliable source regarding this.

Side view. This is really a modest size, only some 11.5 cm high. The pictures may give the impression that it is big.

(Attached are some enlargements showing glaze condition.)
