- Title
- Jar with two lug handles at neck
- Artist
- Kiln Unknown, Vietnam
- Physical Description
- A very small jar with a globular body, raised on a continuous foot with a wide mouth with a slighly rolled rim. There are two small lug handles right at the rim of the mouth. The clay is a warm red, suggesting that the jar is of earthenware rather than stoneware, with a white glaze that covers all but the lower part of the jar.

- Title
- Blue-and-white storage jar
- Artist
- Kiln Unknown, Vietnam
- Physical Description
- A small, flat-bottomed stoneware jar, with nearly straight sides flaring out to shoulders only slightly broader than the base, and narrowing to a short neck with an everted rim. The decoration consists of broad horizontal bands of cobalt blue pigment at the base, on the shoulder, and at the neck. The overall glaze, normally a whitish color, is a light brown here, possibly because of less than ideal conditions in the kiln.

- Unidentified Buddhist Goddess with eight arms and three heads, with base
- Artist

- Physical Description
- A miniature figure of a tantric goddess, very finely cast by the cire perdue (lost wax) method.

She has 8 arms which are in variants of vitarka mudra (the gesture of teaching).

Her skirt is unusual, looking to be made of leaves, instead of the usual dhoti. Her hair is painted blue and her lips red.
