This glazed vessel dates to the mid-19th century and was used to store wine and spirits made from rice and other grains. The jar has an elegant, tapered form and is beautifully glazed with neutral earth-tones in a style characteristic of cizhou ware. Loosely brushed botanical motifs decorate the shoulders and sides, painted in warm browns atop a creme-white slip base. The narrow jar is banded with lines and borders of expressive brushwork. Marked with wear and imperfections, the jar has only become more beautiful with age, a testament to the timelessness of handmade pottery.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
