About the Item
A stunning and massive Chinese high fired gray pottery jar of remarkable size and girth, with impressed geometric design, Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD), Zhejiang Province, China.
The coil-formed massive high fired gray pottery storage jar of elegant proportions, with a wide mouth with an out-turned lip and even wider shoulders, tapering downwards to a slightly concave foot. The voluptuous body decorated simply with a repeating geometric design. The high fired gray pottery body visible under and encrustation of the red soil Zhejiang is famous for.
The deeply impressed design covers most of the body, starting just under the shoulders, and stopping well above the foot. The design was created using a carved stamp or paddle to impress the design into the gray pottery body while it was still wet.
