Hu (Ritual Storage Vessel), 206 BCE - 220 CE, 15 1/2 x 12 in. (39.4 x 30.48 cm), Stoneware with green glaze over molded decor, China, 3rd century BCE - 3rd century CE, The earliest lead glazed pottery has been found in the tombs of Middle Western Han. This was a revolutionary ware in that it marked the beginning of controlled colored glazes, primarily green, yellow, and brown. The term 'lead glaze' refers to the addition of lead flux to the glaze compound which lowers the melting point of the glaze thereby speeding up the firing process. The hu shown to the left is brown glazed and, like this example, molded with a lively hunting scene around its shoulder. The shapes and lead glaze colors shown here are typical of Han storage jars made specifically for tomb burial. They contained nourishment for the afterlife.Terracotta lekythos (oil flask) late 7th-6th century B.C.

The hull has a casting seam near the ears and is bullet -shaped, but slightly sagged. He has a thickening at the bottom, which was created as a result of the casting technique. This is formed by a round casting hole with twice three rays -placed cast ribs. The transition from hull to neck is fluent. The lip edge has a relatively sharp side at the top and runs outwards. The pot is on three six -sided legs, the inner side of which takes the entire width. These seem to be turned on later. They run out in seven -sided feet, the inner side of which also takes the entire width. The ears lying in each other were probably turned on later. They are rounded sharp -angled and in diameter versatile. On the outside they have a vague ornament, consisting of a swinging slender with leaves beaten. At the impetus of one of the ears is a piece of iron that originally belonged to the handle.

One inscription gives the name of the presiding official, Kalliar. The other inscription, in a different hand and dialect, indicates that the contestants dedicated the prize to Herakles, for whom the games were held. The implication is that the hydria was dedicated because there was no winner. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Jug 16th-17th century British. Jug 468393Jug probably 9th century.

Pierpont Morgan, 1917 (17.194.2189)Spouted pitcher ca. 1450-1050 B.C. Iran This pitcher has a globular body, a ring base, and a slightly flared rim. A pointed spout rises vertically from a protuberance on one side of the body before extending outward horizontally. Both the body and the protuberance supporting the spout are decorated with raised ridges. The combination of the pointed spout and protuberance may suggest the form of a bird with a long beak and a crop in its neck. The pitcher is made of burnished grey clay. The body was likely made on a wheel, with the spout and raised decorations added later.This pitcher was excavated from a grave at Dinkha Tepe in northwestern Iran. During the Iron Age Dinkha Tepe was a small settlement, probably ruled by Hasanlu, a major site fifteen miles to the east. Presumably this pitcher was used to pour a liquid containing dregs, such as wine, since the round body and spout would prevent the dregs from ending up in the cup. Possibly it was used in a funerary banquet or ritual beforeAmphora with dragon-shaped handles ca. late 7th-first half of 8th century China Owing to their large oval bodies and narrow cylindrical necks, vessels of this type have traditionally been called "amphorae" and were said to be based on the ancient Greek jar with essentially the same contours. Recently, however, it has been suggested that the shape is derived from Roman glass and metalwork that came to China over the Silk Road. This Western shape has been modified here by the addition of two Chinese features, the high, arched dragon-headed handles and a cupped mouth.. Amphora with dragon-shaped handles 49905Vase. Bronze.

Date: late 3rd-2nd century B.C..This large jar typifies a type of painted floral decoration characteristic of the Late Period into the Ptolemaic Period at Thebes. The bowl (13.180.34b) was used base downward as a lid in the mouth of the jar. The large jars usually held solid funerary offerings, such as dates, grain and various kinds of seeds, or, alternatively, mummification materials; analysis indicates the bowl originally contained some thick liquid with containing bovine cellulose, perhaps a beef broth or puddingThe jar was found by the Museum's Egyptian Expedition in an area of brick-vaulted Ptolemaic tombs over the area of Hatshepsut's Valley Temple. The tombs were partly sunk beneath the ground but the vaults were above ground. At the ground entrance there would be a small vestibule or open entrance area.
