Antique Chinese Stoneware Pillow 19th Century

About the Item

Antique Chinese pillows were made from a wide range of materials, including bamboo, jade, porcelain, and wood. Traditionally solid, they were sometimes used with softer fabric over them. We are pleased to offer this pillow, which is decorated with brown glazes allowed to run over beige-colored stoneware. On both sides, the impressed design is a honeybee and honey combs symbolizing a wish for sweet dreams. Along the top and bottom of the pillow are traditional Chinese cloud collar decorations. Dimensions: Height 6" x 5.75" width x 2.75" depth Condition: Excellent Price: $290 The use of ceramic pillows first appeared in the Sui Dynasty between 581 and 618. The Chinese decorated their pillows by making them in different shapes and by painting them with a variety of patterns often including pictures of animals, humans, and plants.
