Storage Jar, 4th century BCE, 11 x 14 3/4 in. ( x cm), Porcelaneous stoneware with impressed and carved decor under light yellow-green glaze, China, 4th century BCE, This elegant storage jar made in vague imitation of contemporary bronze vessels was created by building up coiled strips of clay which were finished on a slow-turning potter's wheel. Set on opposite sides of the shoulder are two mold-impressed plaques centered under the loose ring handles. The main decoration consists of two continuous registers of neatly incised vertical fluting.
