About the Item

Sculpted by artisans in China's Shanxi province, this black clay vessel has a quiet simplicity, shaped with balanced proportions and an undecorated, unglazed surface. Charged with the humble task of storing dry goods, the earthenware jar has a wide mouth, rounded lip and broad shoulders that narrow gently towards the base. Ideal today as an indoor planter or catch-all, the pot has a natural beauty, patterned only by smoke patterns left during firing and the speckled texture of the clay.
