- Lot Description
East Asia, Japan, late Early to Middle Jomon period, ca. 3000 to 2000 BCE. A large, deep, conical urn made using the coiling method, the clay mixed by the woman who made it (women produced all ceramics in this culture) with adhesive materials like mica, lead, fibers, and crushed shells. She would then smooth the interior and exterior and create cord-like motifs around the exterior, many of which can still be seen here, and for which this enigmatic culture is named - "Jomon" means "cord pattern" in Japanese. On this interestingly-decorated example, the lower body is decorated with a different pattern than the rim. Jomon pottery is some of the oldest ever made, and much of it has a similar form as this example: "fukabachi," deep bowls or jars. The flattened base indicates that it is probably from the Early period or beginning of the Middle Jomon period. Size: 12.05" W x 16.7" H (30.6 cm x 42.4 cm)
The fukabachi style emerged at the beginning of the Jomon period and persisted for centuries. These were used for cooking and storage; the cultivation of rice, which began around this time, created demand for ceramic domestic vessels. People lived in small communities, in square-shaped pithouses and had regular trade with the Korean peninsula and with each other, creating a fairly uniform ceramic tradition across a wide geographic area.
