Stoneware Storage Jar China East Zhou Dynasty

About the Item

A pinkish stoneware jar with broad shoulder and slightly tapered body from Chinese East Zhou Dynasty (771-256BC). The surface of the jar was nearly thoroughly decorated with lattice pattern stamp, except the short mouth rim and the very bottom part near the base. This type of the jars were typically made in Southern China in nowadays Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hunan Provinces and used for storage purpose. The lattice pattern resembles the character Rice, whether this is a mere coincidence or as a design reserved for rice storage, is up for speculation. Nearly identical jars are in the collection of Portland Art Museum, Art Institute of Chicago 28:1968, (shown in the last three photos), and Asian Art Museum in San Francisco Object Number: B60P1819.
