Chinese Twin Mythical Jar, c. 1900
About the Item
The Chinese artisan who made this unique double-sided jar used a beautiful neutral glaze and incredibly detailed etching to add texture and depth to these whimsical figures. The jar was made in China’s Fujian Province, but the design references a style of ancient vessels, occasionally uncovered in Neolithic tombs.
