Bottle-shaped storage jar, mid-20th century.
Black-glazed earthenware from Shanxi Province, China. Vessels like this were used in everyday settings, most likely for storing liquids.
The narrow body, small opening, and thick glaze are characteristic of this type of utilitarian pottery. The surface shows visible signs of age and use, with natural variations in glaze, tone, and texture. Each jar is one of a kind.
