Green Glazed Ceramic Water Jug Pottery Planter with Calligraphy

About the Item

A richly glazed green ceramic jar with flared neck and raised calligraphic inscriptions. Striking for both its form and surface, this vessel features a rotund body tapering upward to a pronounced collar rim in unglazed terracotta. The glossy emerald green glaze cascades across the curved body, bringing depth and tonal variation to the surface while allowing the raised script to subtly emerge. Stylized vertical calligraphy—deeply carved and highlighted in contrast—wraps the midsection, lending a strong sense of rhythm and balance. The overall effect is both sculptural and graphic, offering visual interest from every angle. Whether used as a decorative focal point indoors or as a sculptural element in a covered outdoor space, this jar offers organic texture, layered glazing, and an unmistakable presence. It works beautifully in entryways, living areas, or garden rooms, either as a standalone piece or grouped with other earthenware forms. A timeless object with character and heft, grounded in handwork and designed to anchor a space.
