Glazed Chinese Wine Jar, circa 1900
About the Item
Originally used for fermenting rice or sorghum into wine or vinegar, this squat, earthenware vessel from the early 20th century is coated inside and out with a thick, dark glaze. The rich brown glaze sheets and pools over the jar's textured sides, lingering on imperfections with an organic, drip-glaze effect.
Subtle ridges and indentations throughout suggest the jar was fashioned by coiling flattened ropes of clay and then tapped with a paddle into the desired shape. Rich with character, the jar exemplifies the timeless appeal of handcrafted pottery and is a wonderful addition to the home as a vase or centerpiece vessel.
