Chinese Quilt Warmer Vessel, c. 1900

About the Item

This unusual squat vessel would have been kept near a kang platform to warm one's blankets before bed. Much like a hot water bottle, the ceramic vessel was filled with hot water through the narrow top opening and placed beneath layers of quilts to slowly radiate heat. Beautifully symmetrical with a monochrome finish, we love this low vessel as an unexpected ikebana vase or a sculptural object. Additional dimension: Diameter of opening 1".
