Hunan Food Storage Jar

Most Chinese pottery was made to be affordable and useful. Collectors are less drawn to such "everyday" pieces, so they tend not to end up in museums. This jar is a reminder of what everyday Chinese pottery looked like: slightly irregular (despite being made on a wheel), imperfectly glazed (not a deliberate artistic effect in this case), and with simple designs. In other words, not an art object! But not merely functional either. Everyday people love beauty too, even if they can't afford the best. Vintage pottery is unique, please visit us to choose.
