Glazed Pickling Pot

Originally used for pickling foods, this early 20th century ceramic jar is coated inside and out with a warm grey glaze. Decorative ridges patterning the jar's high shoulders manipulate the glaze to pool irregularly across the surface. The jar is topped by a rounded lip and marked on either side by indentations functioning as handles. Speckled with imperfections and color variations, this glazed pot exemplifies the timeless appeal of handcrafted pottery.
