Antique Chinese open mouth earthenware jar for holding grain.  Outside wood stamp by hand textured pattern simulating the abundance of grain. Inside at the rim would have originally fit a covered lid.  Complete condition with no previous damage.

Dimensions: 12″ wide x 9 3/4″ high

Age: Zhou period (1046 – 356 BC)

The Zhou dynasty ([ʈʂóʊ]; Chinese: 周) was a royal dynasty of China that existed for 789 years from c. 1046 BC until 256 BC, the longest of all dynasties in Chinese history. During the Western Zhou period ( c. 1046 – 771 BC), the royal house, surnamed Ji, had military control over ancient China.

Early Western Zhou pottery, like the bronzes, continued the Shang tradition at a somewhat lower technical level, and the soft white Shang pottery disappeared. Stemmed offering dishes, dou, were made in a hard stoneware dipped or brushed over with a glaze ranging from gray to brownish green.
