About this piece
The glaze runs dark, and the jar stands tall.
Potters of Shanxi Province, China, made this storage vessel in the early 19th century. It is pottery, and jars of this kind were commonly used to store food and drink. The shoulders are high and broad, and the shape tapers down to a narrow foot. The glaze is a deep green-brown, with faint throwing rings and a broad band of darker glaze across the belly.
About 22 inches tall. A good jar for a bad light. Stand it in a hall and let it brood.
