Indonesian Ceramic Shipwreck Vessel

Tall, tarnished green-gray, with a gritty skin and a faintly stern bearing.

This shipwreck vessel is from Java Sea near Borneo, Indonesia, and dates to the 17th or 18th century. It is pottery. Many shipwreck ceramics surfaced when fishermen off the coasts of Indonesia and Southeast Asia began catching them in their nets, often still intact and looking no worse for centuries underwater. Tall slender jar in dark olive-gray, with a narrow neck, flat top rim and small loop handles near the shoulder. The surface is coarse and pitted, with long pale streaks and soft scars running down the body. It is 4 inches wide, 4 deep, 9.5 high and 0.09 in diameter.

Looks like it has opinions about modern storage.
