Cloaked in a beautifully irregular brown slip finish, this 19th-century earthenware pot was charged with the humble task of storing dry goods in a Qing dynasty kitchen. The lobed pot has a round form with a narrow base and a tall neck flanked by two small strap handles. Fluid, all-over ribbed designs stretch across the surface of the jar, a utilitarian texture that provides additional exterior grip. The jar has a quiet beauty, patterned by rhythmic grooves to enliven its modest, provincial construction. The chiseled surface of the pot has weathered with time, developing subtle color variation and adding rich character to the terra cotta.
