Chinese Vintage Pot with Handle
This Antique Chinese Pot with Handle is a simple yet striking piece of utilitarian heritage, once a staple in rural households across northern China. Crafted by hand from unglazed clay and fired using traditional methods, its deep charcoal-black hue comes from a process known as reduction firing, which limits oxygen during firing to produce this beautifully smoky, matte finish.
This pot was most likely used for carrying water, storing fermented foods, or holding cooking liquids, with the single handle allowing it to be easily lifted from a fire or storage shelf. Its shape is practical yet elegant, a full belly tapering into a steady base, reflecting generations of refined folk design sensibilities.
