Storage Jar (Tsubo), 1400s. Japan, Muromachi period (1392-1573). Stoneware with natural ash glaze (Shigaraki ware); diameter: 47.5 cm (18 11/16 in.); overall: 53 cm (20 7/8 in.). This bulbous clay jar, with its expansive, dry orange-brown surface, white dots of feldspathic stone, and spidery crazing marks epitomizes one type of medieval ware from Shigaraki. This region east of Kyoto and north of the older cultural and religious center of Nara has long been known as a source of superior clay material. Shigaraki storage jars were crafted for strength and durability. The vessel's slightly lopsided shape shows precisely where its three lower clay sections connect with one another. The "stubble" on the upper shoulder sections is highlighted by dripping rivulets of dull-green ash glaze in one small area on the broken neck. The same natural glaze runs over the slope of the shoulder and also appears as a large splash of thin, glossy olive green where the shoulder joins the upper body.Terracotta jug 2nd half of the 1st century A.D.

Date: ca. 1279-1213 B.C..Wine services do not seem to have a long history in Egypt, but appear to have been introduced in the New Kingdom when wine-drinking became a feature of elite society in the Ramesside Period. Most if not all of the vessels in Tell Basta find belonged to just such a wine service associated presumably with a temple festival.This pitcher was likely used to pour wine in celebration of a divinity - an Asiatic goddess to judge from other vessels belonging with this one. It is dedicated to the royal butler Atumemtaneb, who was also a royal envoy to all foreign lands. The decoration below the lip of the jug shows marsh scenes with cattle, horses, and goats nibbling trees; the base is embraced by petals; and the handle has a lioness-head at the join to the neck.

It is considered by scholars to be the most important prehistoric settlement so far discovered in Southeast Asia, marking the beginning and showing the development of the wet-rice culture typical of the region. The site has been dated by scientific chronometric means which have established that the site was continuously occupied from 1495 BCE until c. 900 BCE making it the earliest scientifically-dated prehistoric farming and habitation site in Southeast Asia. Ban Chiang is considered the most important prehistoric settlement so far discovered in South-East Asia. It marks an important stage in human cultural, social and technological evolution. The site presents the earliest evidence of farming in the region and of the manufacture and use of metals. Ban Chiang was officially inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.Jar 12th-13th century.

Piceno Civilization, 9th-3rd Century BC.Terracotta amphora late 4th century B.C. Greek, Cypriot This diminutive amphora is in the "unpainted white ware" style, a descriptive term that calls attention to the plain light colored ground that lacks decoration. Excavation of tombs in Cyprus have brought to light numerous ceramic vessels in this style, suggesting that plain white ware was deemed especially appropriate for burial. Although this amphora is unpainted it exudes an aire of luxury; for its crisp potting, small scale, and smooth white surface may recall vessels made in alabaster, a popular medium in Cyprus..

Iran This jug has a globular body, a flat base, and a narrow mouth. A loop handle, large enough for a single finger, connects the neck to the body. The jug is made of a buff clay with red painted decorations, including stripes around the rim and neck and on the handle, and rays descending from the neck to the body. Wheel lines on the interior indicate that it was made on a potters wheel.This jug was excavated at Tepe Sialk, near Kashan in central Iran. Sialk was the site of a fortified town, constructed in the early first millennium B.C. Several hundred yards from the town there was a large cemetery, called Necropolis B by the archaeologists who explored it between 1933 and 1937. The graves were pits covered with pitched roofs made of stone or clay, and in addition to the bodies of the dead they contained jewelry, weapons, leather armor, horse trappings and ceramic vessels, including many similar jugs. Possibly it was used in a funerary banquet or ritual before itLekythos. Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: Diameter: 2 11/16 × 1 5/8 × 2 1/8 in. (6.8 × 4.1 × 5.3 cm)Height: 7 5/8 in. (19.4 cm).

(15.2 cm).In the eighteenth century, the kilns at Jingdezhen began to make porcelains of a different material. Known as huashi, or "slippery stone," this expensive material, often called soft paste, was used to make thin vessels that frequently were decorated with incised or raised designs under glaze. While the reasons for its introduction remain unclear, it is worth noting that soft paste is easily carvable, and its use would have thus been akin to contemporaneous interests in the manipulation of other materials such as ivory and bamboo. The shape of this vase is loosely based on Bronze Age vessels whose handles were shaped like the heads of animals.

Iran This pitcher has a squat body with a rounded shoulder, a short neck, and a flaring rim. A short spout emerges from one side of the body just below the shoulder and connects to the rim. A rounded handle connects the shoulder and the rim on the other side. The pitcher is buff, with painted reddish-brown decorations, including three rays with crosshatching surrounding the spout and dots on the rim. The combination of the spout and painted decorations suggest the form of a bird. The body and neck were made separately on a wheel, with the handle and spout added later.This pitcher was excavated at Tepe Sialk, near Kashan in central Iran.
