Set of Three Large Burmese Ceramic Martaban Jars, circa 18th Century

About the Item

Set of three large ceramic pots from the Martaban area of Burma, 18th century. These large and heavy stoneware jars were used to store food, drinkwater etc; they were partly put in the ground with the unglazed surface, to keep the content of the vessel cool. The vessels are provided with several layers of glazing and a beautiful oxidised patina that only comes with age resulting in a warm and deep browning colour pallet. All Jars are slightly different in size and and shape and show a variety of little interesting details such as the small handle and decorative ribbed detailing around the neck. Highly decorative pots in very good original condition. Measures: S: Ø 46 x H 49 cm M: Ø 45 x H 52 cm L: Ø 44 x H 55 cm.
