Brown Glazed Storage jar

This early 20th century jar is coated in a thick brown glaze that spreads unevenly across the ridged sides, revealing areas of the stoneware body underneath. As evidenced by the interior glaze, the jar was once used to store wet foods in a Qing-dynasty kitchen, such as soy sauce, rice wine, or pickled vegetables. Crafted in the early 20th century, the jar has a timeless simplicity ​and fantastic rustic character.
