Bottle 449015Covered jar ca. 1675-1700 Mexican Ceramic vessels of this type, known as búcaros de Indias, were highly prized by European collectors during the 17th and 18th centuries. They were appreciated not only for their exotic shapes and New World origin, but also for the distinctive aroma and taste of the clay from which they were made. Búcaros were used to contain water and gave it a pleasing flavor. The clay was thought to have medicinal qualities, and it was fashionable among Spanish and Italian elites, especially women, to consume fragments of the pottery. This unusual practice made their complexions pale, which was considered desirable at the time.The popularity of this kind of pottery in Europe is well documented in the art and literature of the period. In Diego Velázquezs Las Meninas, the infanta Margarita is served a small búcaro of water on a silver tray, and artists like Juan van der Hamen often included búcaros in their still life paintings.

(11.9 x 5.4 cm), Gilded bronze, China, 16th-17th century, The famous metalwork master Hu Wenming (1573-1620)from Songjiang, Jiangsu province (near Shanghai), was one of the most accomplished craftsmen of the late Ming dynasty. He specialized in archaic-style gilt-bronze ritual vessels for the incense stand and scholars desk. His work was highly regarded by the educated elite of the wealthy in the Jiangnan region (lower Yangzi delta). This bottle-like vessel derives from a prototype of the Western Zhou bronze wine vessel zhi, but now served a different purpose.Geometric Pattern Bottle. Culture: Moche.

On this vessel (see Sawyer, 1966: 46, for a rollout drawing), the artist painted two anthropomorphic owls on either side of the globular body of the vessel, each dressed in typical Moche warrior attire, including a jaguar headdress with a feather ornament projecting in the back, ear spools, a sleeved tunic covered with square forms likely meant to represent metal plaques, and wrist ornaments. Body paint is present on the creatures feet, knees, hands, and arms. The figures grasp a single teardrop-shaped object, and others like it are shown between and above the figures. This form, depicted often in Moche ceramics, has been called an “ulluchu” fruit, and scholars have suWater Jar about 1880 Acoma Pueblo.

Ohr George Ohr of Biloxi, Mississippi, was arguably the quintessential American art potter: he built his own kiln, dug his clay, threw his vessels with extreme proficiency on the potters wheel to wafer thinness, altered those shapes, and then covered them with his own novel glazes. In form and decoration they are essentially Abstract Expressionist objects—almost 50 years before that movement was founded. These two vases illustrate especially well how Ohrs lithe, flamboyant, ribbon handles transform a traditional vessel form. On one, the addition of the serpentine handles—with five points where the interior of the handle attaches to the body of the vase—give the vessel an entirely new profile. The second vase exhibits not only Ohrs unusual serpentine handles, but also his fascination with altered form, where he squeezed and pinched the upper portion to form a double-necked vessel. The handles almost give the impression of wings attached to the slender waiPottery Whistle ca. 800-1525 Costa Rican. Pottery Whistle. Costa Rican. ca. 800-1525. Clay. Pre-Columbian.

Along with spoons and other paraphernalia associated with the preparation of betel (areca) nuts, containers like these were part of an extensive surface find on the beach at Lamajang in northwestern Java. Throughout South and Southeast Asia the leaves of the betel plant, a type of pepper, are wrapped around a mixture of lime and the seed kernel of the betel palm and chewed. Quicklime is a natural antacid, and the concoction provides both a stimulant and a tonic.It is not known precisely when the practice of chewing betel began. An intriguing early reference, however, is found in the Chinese Shiji (Historical Records) written by Sima Qian during the first century B.C.

Though handmade, its decoration was quick work, pressed on with reusable molds based on designs lifted from prints. Siegburg potters developed a reputation for interesting forms and the latest styles rendered in a distinctive gray-white glaze; lower end pieces (like a related Siegburg stoneware jug, 11.93.5) featured pewter rather than silver mounts. They were able to reach a huge market by distributing their work via trading posts controlled by the Hanseatic League, a powerful federation of merchant guilds and their market towns that included Lübeck, Cologne, London, Bruges, and later Antwerp and, to the north, Riga and Tallinn.Elizabeth Cleland, 2017.

The set is said to have come from a tomb uncovered in 1901; shortly thereafter, it entered the collection of Duan Fang, a senior Manchu official and one of the preeminent antiquarians of the late Qing period. The pieces vary in style and execution. Although eleven of the vessels are inscribed, only one grouping shares identical inscriptions: the two wine containers, or you (nos. 2, 3) and the tall wine container, or zun (no. 4). A second grouping has largely comparable inscriptions: the spouted water vessel, or he (no. 5) and one cup, or zhi (no. 11).A partial reconstruction of the set's arrangement in the tomb may be established from corrosion outliStoneware bell jar on standing foot completely covered with pointed appliqués, Bullet pewter jug crockery holder soil find ceramic stoneware glaze salt glaze, hand turned stamped glazed glazed baked Stoneware jug gray shard with salt glaze profiled bandoor with curled tail profiled neck and foot.

However, there is no evidence to suggest that Tell Minis wares were manufactured in that village, and recent analyses suggest that this type of ware was produced in multiple centers in Syria rather than a single workshop or town. Typical of Tell Minis wares, the body of the ceramic is composed of fine white stonepaste, distinguishable from the coarser, darker fabric of Raqqa ware. It also has characteristically thin walls, crackling glaze, and copper-red (now brown) luster paint. This vessel has an unusual profile in that it includes two spouts.
