Chinese Cast Iron Vessel, c. 1850
About the Item
This cast-iron vessel has an elegant form reminiscent of the beautiful ironwork, bronzes, and ceramics perfected by Chinese artisans thousands of years ago. A century ago this jar would have been purely utilitarian, but over time, as the iron has gracefully aged, it lives on as a sculptural object.
Additional dimensions:
Diameter of opening: 3.5".
