Massive Chinese Eastern Han Dynasty Impressed Pottery Jar '25-220 AD'
About the Item
A stunning and massive Chinese high fired gray pottery jar of remarkable size and girth, with impressed geometric design, Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD), Zhejiang Province, China.
The coil-formed massive high fired gray pottery storage jar of elegant proportions, with a wide mouth with an out-turned lip and even wider shoulders, tapering downwards to a slightly concave foot. The voluptuous body decorated simply with a repeating geometric design. The high fired gray pottery body visible under and encrustation of the red soil Zhejiang is famous for.
The deeply impressed design covers most of the body, starting just under the shoulders, and stopping well above the foot. The design was created using a carved stamp or paddle to impress the design into the gray pottery body while it was still wet.

- Eastern Han Dynasty Terracotta Model of a Paper Mill , China '206BC - 220AD'Located in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo LeonSlab pottery constructed Model of a Paper Mill, in Green and Cream Color Glazed Terracotta having a peaked roof – open walled form with a mechanical pounder and a large round storage container. Light blue-green mottled glazed surface with some iridescence patina to the glaze. The Iridescence is a refraction of the layers on the glass that produces multicolor hues & metallic luster, and only develops after one thousand years of being buried in the ground. An unquestionable mark of antiquity, impossible to falsify. Han Dynasty, dated 206 B.C-220 A.D. Condition: Excellent, wear commensurate with age, an unusual example. This fantastic piece is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Sculptural effigies of domesticated animals were often interred in the tombs of nobility and elite members of the social hierarchy. Models like this one were made to represent everything from simple goat or pig pens to the most elaborate towers and palaces. Because very few ancient Chinese buildings have survived intact, these models, along with descriptions from ancient texts, give a good representation of what the buildings might have looked like. Burial figurines of graceful dancers, mystical beasts, and everyday objects reveal both how people in early China approached death and how they lived. Since people viewed the afterlife as an extension of worldly life, these figurines, called mingqi, sometimes referred as “spirit utensils” or “vessels of ghosts” disclose details of routine existence and provide insights into belief systems over a thousand-year period. For the first time in Chinese history, we have images of rural and daily life during the Han in the form of contemporary records...Category
