HUGE CHINESE POTTERY JAR Phoenix Qing Dynasty Martaban Antique China Wine Pot

Description

SPECTACULAR ANTIQUE CHINESE STONEWARE TEA/WINE STORAGE JAR
Qing Dynasty, Rare Hand Painted Imagery, Magnificent at 20" Tall
Fabulous Chinese Martaban stoneware storage jar. Absolutely spectacular hand painted design featuring a flaming dragon and lively phoenix wrapping themselves around the body of the pot. Brilliant coloration, and monumental size, measuring approximately 20 inches tall. Draws attention from all the way across the room. Quite an interesting conversation piece. Produced in the 1700s to early 1800s and used as a storage jar for tea or wine. It is quite rare to find an example with such magnificent decoration, as these were utilitarian pieces.
These sublime old Chinese vessels have become quite valuable display pieces and vases today due to their natural aesthetic. Never have we seen one as artistic and vibrantly decorated as this pot. This exquisite example is in excellent antique condition displaying a superb patina and surface wear commensurate with age, which adds so much character.
Incorporating brilliant design and coloration, solid and handsomely potted form, and fabulous textural impressions at the shoulder, the artful details on this piece blend to bring forth a sense of strength and happiness.
Both pleasing visually and also tactilely inviting. A rare, museum quality example of Qing Dynasty pottery and expression, and an exquisite centerpiece for the discriminating connoisseur of the finest Asian antiques.
