Sculpted during the early 20th century in China's Shanxi province, this vessel has a smoky black exterior with balanced proportions and a beautifully irregular unglazed surface. Charged with the humble task of storing dry goods, this earthenware jar has a tapered form with a narrow base, high shoulders and a rounded neck. Left undecorated, the jar has a quiet beauty, patterned only by firing imperfections and the brushed texture of its speckled slip clay finish. With rich surface texture, we love this storied vessel as a planter for garden foliage or indoor houseplants.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
