Likely originating from Asian provincial kilns and dating to the 18th or 19th century, this vessel was built to serve a purpose. The pot’s rounded, simple form is elegantly framed by two sculpted horizontal "rope" bands wrapping around its body, a tactile detail that mimics the fiber bindings used for carrying. The surface wears a muted, light tan glaze with a soft, rustic texture that speaks volumes of its history.

Originally a vital storage jar for grains or preserves, this piece now serves as a grounding sculptural accent on a console or shelf, blending history, texture, and refined primitive charm.
