About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This antique Chinese glazed stoneware vase is an ovoid jar with an olive-amber glaze and hand-painted decoration in iron-brown. It originates from China, from the Qing dynasty, when stoneware was fired in provincial kilns for domestic use.
These stoneware jars served to keep food and liquids in the Chinese home, with a dip glaze that left the foot uncovered. Today they are appreciated as decorative vases.
The body is high-fired stoneware, with a dip-applied ash glaze and decoration painted under the glaze. The mouth is wide and everted, without handles.
The decoration is hand-painted in iron oxide: a festoon border below the rim and a lattice of crossed strokes over the body. It is a simple geometric repertoire, typical of folk pottery, that underlines the utilitarian character of the piece.
The olive-amber glaze shows the irregularities of the kiln and soft wear, and the bare stoneware of the foot contrasts with the glaze. The surface reads authentic, with no restoration to mask it.
For its size and making, it serves as a vase for dried flowers, a table piece or an accent on a shelf. It fits wabi-sabi, japandi and rustic interiors, where it brings warmth and material presence.
