Sichuan - Antique Chinese earthenware dish no. 2

This antique terracotta bowl, handcrafted from local clay in northern China, reflects rural life in the early 20th century. Its low, generous shape, its deep hue somewhere between charcoal black and smoky brown, and its surface marked by time make it a unique piece, both utilitarian and poetic. Originally used for preparing or serving food, it can now be repurposed as a trinket dish, a centerpiece, or a decorative element in a simple, textured interior. Its raw, minimalist appearance fits perfectly within the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Dimensions: H 15cm X Ø 36cm. Material(s): Terracotta. Origin: China. Period: 20th century.
