This terracotta pot is distinguished by its balanced silhouette, its two small side handles, and the delicate horizontal striations resulting from the potting wheel. Long used for storing or preserving foodstuffs, it embodies the functional aesthetics of traditional Chinese furniture and objects, where the quality of materials and mastery of artisanal craftsmanship played a central role.

The soft grey nuances, textural variations, and marks left by the years lend this piece a warm and timeless presence. Each object we select embodies the Wabi-sabi spirit, celebrating the beauty of imperfections, the natural patina of materials, and the charm of objects that have endured through the ages. Today, this pot can hold decorative branches, be used as a cachepot, or simply be displayed as a sculptural object in its own right.

Please note that this piece is unique and exhibits variations in color, texture, patina, shape, and wear, which testify to its authenticity and history.
