Lian – Chinese terracotta pot with handles no. 2

This antique terracotta jar features an irregular, striated texture, entirely handcrafted. Its natural glaze in shades of brown and green is reminiscent of traditional utilitarian objects from southern China. Two small side handles suggest a carrying or storage function, perhaps for oils, herbs, or spices. Each piece is unique, with visible traces of time on the surface—subtle chips, variations in color, and signs of use—that lend it a raw and authentic charm. Ideal as a decorative centerpiece, on a console table, or in a wall niche. Dimensions: H 28cm X Ø 23cm. Material(s): Terracotta. Origin: China. Period: Early 20th century.
