Chinese Swirled Glaze Wine Jar, c. 1900

About the Item

This early 20th century ceramic jar from China's Sichuan province is formed in a traditional shape meant for storing wine and spirits made from rice and grains. Applied with a loose hand, a light glaze sweeps across the jar's high shoulders, pooling at the lipped rim and dripping down over the balanced, oblong form. Hand-formed with a grand scale, we love this wine jar for its rich earth tones and sculptural presence.
