Chinese Quilt Warmer Vessel, circa 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 Dimensions:
Diameter of opening 1.5".
