- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $1800**
East Asia, China, late Warring States period to early Western Han Dynasty, ca. 400 to 200 BCE. A hand-built pottery jar of an enormous size with a concave circular base, a broad, apple-shaped body with a dramatic central bulge, a sloped shoulder, and a squat, flared rim surrounding the wide mouth and deep interior. The exterior of the jar is impressed with hundreds of square panels filled with shallow grooves meant to facilitate the carrier's grip as well as to provide an eye-catching presentation and pleasing surface texture. Lustrous layers of yellow-green glaze envelop the top half of the vessel, and the bottom half - with its glaze faded and worn - reveals the original buffware color beneath. This vessel was perhaps inspired by a similar bronze vessel used to store food, however its creation from ceramic means it would have been a relatively inexpensive facsimile made to be placed in a grave. Size: 20.2" W x 17.375" H (51.3 cm x 44.1 cm)
Provenance: private Vero Beach, Florida, USA collection, acquired in the early 1980s; ex-old English collection
