About this piece
A pale leaf spray, drawn on olive glaze with a light hand.
Potters in Guangdong Province, China, made this water storage vessel with a foliage motif in the early 20th century. Large pottery jars are commonly used for storing water and other household goods. The body is tall and rounded, covered in an olive-green glaze, and two thin lines are incised near the lower belly. A pale, softly drawn leaf spray decorates the front, in a lighter tone. The clay shows at the base.
About 24 inches tall. A jar with a little poetry in it.
