Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Jug with painted decoration 30 B.C.- A.D. 364 Meroitic Period After a stable border had been established between Roman Egypt and areas controlled by Meroë, settlement in the Meroitic regions of lower Nubia intensified and economic prosperity grew. Several cemeteries of the first to third centuries A.D. have been found in this area. Inlaid woodwork, glass, metalwork, jewelry of faience, shell, metal, semiprecious stones, and politshed quartz, and a rich repertoire of pottery are characteristic objects in lower Nubian burials.Ceramics produced in Meroë are known mainly through the lower Nubian finds. Most of the pottery is painted, but stamped and barbotine (a type of applied clay decoration) wares are also represented. Among the examples of painted pottery the hands of different artists can be identified, and archaeologists have found vessels by the same painter at widely separated sites, testifying to a thriving ceramics industry and active trade, or possibly to the movement of painterGlass bottle 4th-5th century A.D.

(45.4 × 36.83 × 37.47 cm), Shigaraki ware; stoneware with natural ash glaze, Japan, 15th century, The town of Shigaraki, southeast of Kyoto, was one of Japans great pottery-making centers, producing huge numbers of large storage jars and sturdy mortars (vessels used for grinding seeds and spices). Shigaraki clay contains high levels of sand and the mineral feldspar—imperfections that burst, or 'bloom,' in the kiln, giving the surface its characteristic roughness. This jar also has an unusually heavy deposit of natural glaze, the result of wood ash settling on the vessels shoulder, liquefying in the heat, and then running down the sides in dramatic, uneven drips.Jug.

The original is preserved in the Vatican Museums. The subject remained popular into the fifth century B.C. The warriors are evenly matched. They hold their spears and shields as they play. The artist's concern seems less to characterize them than to dispose an interesting, symmetrical composition on the shoulder of the kalpis.

(52.71 x 43.18 x 38.1 cm), Slip-glazed earthenware, Greece, 6th-5th century BCE, The Antimenes Painter decorated many hydriae--three-handled water jars--of the sort seen here. In the main scene the goddess Athena, painted white to indicate her gender, helps harness her four-horse chariot, assisted by several grooms and the bearded charioteer. This harnessing technique accurately reflects sixth-century b.c. practices. The appearance of Athena dressed for war may refer to her legendary invention of the war chariot or perhaps to an episode from the Iliad.The scene on the shoulder of the vase depicts Zeus, the central figure, intervening in the fight between Heracles (on Zeus' right) and Cycnus (on his left). This divine battle occurred because Cycnus stole the sacrificial animals of the god Apollo.Pottery water jug stand on stand, standing ear, with yellow-white sludge trim on shoulder, water jug crockery holder soil find ceramic earthenware glaze lead glaze, hand-turned glazed decorated fried lemonade Pottery jug red shard inside top edge glazed pouring lip sausage stand foot archeology indigenous pottery serve serve water wash prepare food kitchen CookBrown stoneware jug with frieze around neck, around the belly carved ornament and stamped floral pattern, jug crockery holder soil find ceramic stoneware glaze salt glaze tin, hand turned stamped glazed glazed baked carved Stoneware jug gray shard gray light brown salt glaze bandoor with pointed tail Profiled foot archeology City Triangle Rotterdam Town Hall City Hall import pottery serving drink wine beer Soil discovery Rotterdam found at the construction of the Town Hall 1915.02.05Terracotta Hadra hydria (water jar) 3rd century B.C.

Dimensions: H. 7 7/8 in. (20 cm); Diam. 6 1/2 in. (16.5 cm).This small, bulbous-shaped bottle with narrow neck is typical of wares found at Late Jomon sites in the Tohoku region. While the southern and western parts of Japan were responding to foreign influences at this time, this area in northern Honshu became a center of traditional pottery production. Although the red pigment applied to the surface of this vessel is unusual, the sophisticated, incised decoration is typical. The small size of this bottle and its relatively simple, compact profile exemplify Late Jomon ceramic-making trends, which reveal a declining interest in sculptural embellishment and elaborate decoration in favor of greater integration of ornamentation and form. The thin walls of the bottle indicate improvements made in potting methods. Flanking the shoulders and lower section are two sets of apertures, through which a thin cord could be threaded to suspend the container. Museum: MetropolitanGlass cup. Culture: Roman.

Egypt or Anatolia, Coptic, Coptic Period (500 - 1000 CE). Furnishings; Accessories. TerracottaAn amphora (English plural: amphorae or amphoras) is a type of container of a characteristic shape and size, descending from at least as early as the Neolithic Period. Amphorae were used in vast numbers for the transport and storage of various products, both liquid and dry, but mostly for wine. It is most often ceramic, but examples in metals and other materials have been found. Stoppers of perishable materials, which have rarely survived, were used to seal the contents. Two principal types of amphorae existed: the neck amphora, in which the neck and body meet at a sharp angle; and the one-piece amphora, in which the neck and body form a continuous curve. Neck amphorae were commonly used in the early history of ancient Greece, but were gradually replaced by the one-piece type from around the 7th century BCE.URNE. Bronze. Chine.

Date: 15th-16th century.This exquisitely decorated bronze vase has a generous bulbous belly that sits on a short circular foot. Two ring handles with animal-faced bases are attached to its gently sloped shoulders, one on each side. Although the extensive geometric patterns of gold and silver inlays on its surface recall the decoration of ritual vessels of the late Warring States period (475-256 BC), its slightly squat shape and short neck show resemblance to the porcelain wares of the Song to Ming period, reflecting the taste of contemporary literati collectors. Having been in private collections for ages, it has acquired a mellow brownish patina that sets off well the sumptuous inlays of precious metals.

China During the Warring States period (475-221 B.C.), jades, bronze, textiles, musical instruments, books and other luxuries were often placed in tombs to serve the needs of the deceased in the afterlife. In the early Han dynasty pottery models known as mingqi or "spirit goods" began to be produced as substitutes for more valuable possessions, and to provide figures of servants, entertainers, livestock, pets, and vessels and other necessities for the tomb. Made of low-fired earthenware and painted with chalky mineral pigments that flake off when handled, this covered jar is too porous to hold liquids. The swirling cloud-like designs covering the vessel are thought to represent celestial mists through which the deceased would travel to join the immortals.. Covered Jar (Hu). China. 1st century B.C..
