Description
This vintage terracotta clay pot dates back to the 1950s, it’s a primitive terracotta vessel with a deeply aged grey surface and a rounder fuller body. Hand-shaped by artisans from local rural Shanxi clay, the wider shape gives it an earthy grounded presence in any space. Our antique clay pots were once used to store grains, vinegar and fermented foods main staples of a centuries-old culinary culture in Shanxi.
This particular terracotta pot has dark tones with layered surface markings as a result of decades of use. The patina is raw and uneven in the best way possible.
Works as a standalone piece or with dried stems. Adds depth to any rustic and wabi-sabi interiors.
