Each antique piece we select tells a story. Crafted in China in the 19th century, these small glazed pots bear witness to the richness of Chinese ceramic traditions, where utilitarian objects were made with a deep respect for materials and craftsmanship. Patinated by time, it retains the traces of its journey, making each piece authentic and unique.

Made of terracotta covered with traditional glaze, this pot is distinguished by its soft shades of beige, ivory, and brown, as well as by the patterns and material effects created during firing. Its small side "ears", both decorative and functional, recall the emblematic shapes of containers once used for storing foodstuffs or food preparations in Chinese homes.

The natural variations in the enamel, the glaze runs, the surface irregularities, and the marks left by the years give this piece a warm and authentic presence. Every object we select embodies the Wabi-sabi spirit, celebrating the beauty of imperfections and the charm of objects that have spanned eras. Today, this pot naturally finds its place as a decorative object, small vase, or collector's item, bringing character and poetry to an interior.

Please note that each piece is unique and features variations in color, texture, patina, decoration, and wear that attest to its authenticity and history.
