An Antique Chinese Glazed Terracotta Vessel/Planter, a truly exceptional piece that bears the remarkable character of pit-fired terracotta, a technique with ancient origins dating back thousands of years.
This vessel is likely a product of the pit-firing process, a traditional method involving baking clay objects in a pit. During the firing, the objects are covered with combustibles and ignited.
