Indonesian Large Terracotta Water Jar, Indonesia late 19th century
Located in Utrecht, NL
As a country with rich cultural heritage, handicrafts produced in Indonesia also display a high level of diversity. Each province, even each production centre has its own speciality and uniqueness. Following the nation’s motto of “Unity in Diversity” (“Bhinneka Tunggal Ika”), the diversity of Indonesian handicrafts is united by a single underlying characteristic: uniquely beautiful items that epitomize the beauty of nature.
This water jar possesses an elemental, organic power that comes from its rich historical origin, earthly palette and materials. Pottery made of earth and water elements becomes extraordinary because it has passed through various times, and carries a layer of each phase of its life. The shape and decorative elements of this jar is distinctively Indonesian, with a handcrafted asymmetric shape, terracotta colour and subtle rings running around the body. Earthenware is one of the most commonly used ceramics...

18th Century Chinese Shipwreck Porcelain Dish
Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A Chinese export porcelain shipwreck soup dish from the Hatcher Porcelain Cargoes, made in the early to mid-18th century.
This Chinese porcelain soup dish was created specifically for export to the European market. It was used for soup or broth courses, which had become a dinner staple in Northern Europe following the influence of French table customs. This piece features an underglaze blue floral decoration, here comprising chrysanthemums, peonies, and a pomegranate. The floral sprigs appear to grow from a rock formation, partly obscured by the marine incrustations. On the border of the dish, three arrangements of lotuses balance the composition. The swiftness of the painter’s hand is evident in the strokes forming leaves and petals, as well as in the bleeding of some of the lighter cobalt washes coloring the flowers.
Dimensions: 9 in. Dm x 1 1/4 in. H (22.9 cm Dm x 3.2 cm H)
Condition: Salvaged condition. A few hairlines extending from the rim to the center, the longest about 6cm. We do not recommend cleaning or restoration, as the current condition speaks to an important stage in this object’s life.
Provenance:
Collection Mrs Marianne L. Dreesmann-van der Spek, Laren, inv. no J002;
Collection Mrs Hetti T.G. von der Gablentz-Blanche Koelensmid, Amsterdam;

Chinese Blue and White Fu Lion Headrest
Located in Chicago, IL
This small ceramic block is actually a form of Chinese headrest or neck pillow. Popular during the Qing dynasty, rigid headrests such as this were used by upper-class women to protect their elaborate hairstyles by elevating the head during slumber. This example dates to the early 20th century and is glazed in the blue-and-white style with deep, cobalt-blue color.
The headrest is decorated on all sides with mythical fu lion dogs playing with a brocade ball, a motif that evokes the idiom "may you and your descendant achieve high rank." A powerful and benevolent guardian, the fu lion (shizi) is the perfect force to protect against nightmares and bad energy. A geometric meander trims the edges and small bats frame coin...

Antique, New and Vintage Asian Ceramics
With their rich and diverse history, antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics offer colorful and sophisticated ways to add flair to any space.
Japanese pottery dates back at least 13,000 years to the Jōmon period. Pieces from the Late Jōmon era display a rope-cord pattern encircling a pot or jug. During the Muromachi period, potters created simple bowls and utensils frequently used in tea ceremonies and were made as both functional and aesthetic objects.
Ceramics made during Japan’s Meiji period, from 1868 to 1912, reflected an explosion of artistic expression propelled by new access to international trade. Details became more intricate and refined, and colors were enhanced with new glazing practices.
Chinese porcelain, meanwhile, is often identified by its shape. Each reign and dynasty had specific shapes and styles that were encouraged by the imperial ruler. During the Song dynasty, for instance, there were four dominant types of ceramic vase shapes: plum-shaped, pear-shaped, cong-shaped (tall and square) and double-gourd.
Chinese ceramics that were made during the Qing dynasty were demonstrative of an expanded artistic expression, with more delicate shapes and a focus on intricate detailing. The shapes of ceramics from this era are thinner, taller and have subtle features like a gentle flare, such as on the mallet-shaped vase.
Later, the 17th- and 18th-century interior design trend of chinoiserie brought Asian paintings and screens, textiles and other art and furniture from the continent into many European homes.
Explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics on 1stDibs to find the perfect piece for your home.
