Chinese Ceramic Storage Vessel

Sienna glaze, pooled at the shoulder like honey.

Chinese potters made this storage vessel in pottery in the 20th century. Tall glazed jars were commonly made for household storage of food and drink. The jar swells at the shoulder and tapers toward the base, with a short neck and flared rim. The sienna glaze is smooth and warm, and the bottom third shows ribbing and some exposed, pale clay.

About 29 inches tall. The floor jar that holds a room together. Set it beside the door, and it greets everyone.
