Earthy and understated, this Chinese vintage ceramic pot quietly honours traditional form and everyday craft. Hand-formed from natural clay and fired in open kilns, these vessels were once used across rural China to hold tea leaves, dried herbs, oils or fermented condiments in kitchens and apothecaries.
The unglazed body and darker, lidded top show the effects of long use and exposure to fire, creating a unique patina and warm, organic character. With its softly rounded belly and hand-thrown irregularities, each pot adds authenticity and soul to any setting.
Every piece varies in finish, size and marks, making it a one-of-a-kind vessel that blends practical function with cultural history.
Dimensions (cm): 15 x 15 x 25 (sizes may vary)
Colour/Hue: Black
Material: Clay
Care instructions: Wipe with a dry cloth
Original use: Storage for tea leaves, dried herbs, oils, or fermented condiments
