Tall storage vessel, early to mid-20th century.
Black-glazed earthenware from Shanxi Province, China. Originally used as a everyday storage container, the vessel has a strong vertical shape, a defined neck, a thick-walled body, and two handles.
The glossy black glazed surface is marked by age and use. Compared to lighter storage vessels of this type, this piece has a heavier body and thicker walls – visible in its proportions, weight, and surface depth. Entirely glazed rim.
A large, decorative vessel with a utilitarian origin. One of a kind.
