~ Chinese c300 AD Han Dynasty Stoneware Storage Pot ~

A Chinese glazed stoneware storage pot.

It is a simple piece of stoneware pottery, a provincial piece most likely used for food storage.

The pot is of bulbous form with a pale wash glaze with simple stroke work decoration in a blue/grey tone.

~ Dimensions ~

The pot has a diameter of 13.5cm (5 ¼ inches) and a height of 13.5cm (5 ¼ inches).

It weighs 565g.

~ Condition ~

The pot has some rough edges and small areas of missing glaze but these are not damage but merely how the pot was made, it being a simple functional piece rather than a thing of quality and beauty.

The only damage is a little chipping to the rim (refer to the images for more detail).

Otherwise the piece is in a very good condition.
