Censer, 1st century BCE - 1st century CE, 5 1/2 x 7 9/16 x 6 1/8 in. (13.97 x 19.21 x 15.56 cm), Stoneware with carved and appliqued decor under a light brown glaze, Vietnam, 1st century BCE - 1st century CE, Metalware had an important influence on the shapes and decoration of both Chinese and Vietnamese ceramics. Chased silver and cast bronze vessels were often imitated in less expensive ceramics for utilitarian use and as tomb furnishings. Shown here is a small, circular stoneware censer intended for the ritual burning of incense. Next to it is a rare bronze censer which is the sort of vessel that stood as the model for the ceramic version. The tall handles on both vessels are typical of Vietnamese tostein censers.

Terracotta chous late 5th century B.C. Greek, Attic Toward the end of the 5th century B.C., Athenian potters and painters created a large number of miniature vessels decorated with scenes involving young children. They are connected with the Anthesteria, a three-day celebration of the new vintage of wine and the arrival of spring, in which children also participated. These little vessels are called choes (sing. chous), which means libations, after the name of the second day of the festival. It is noteworthy that the scene on this example depicts a chous and a kline, suggesting a symposium.. Terracotta chous. Greek, Attic. late 5th century B.C.. Terracotta; red-figure. Classical. Vases

Jug. Culture: American. Dimensions: H. 10 in. (25.4 cm). Maker: John Crolius (1733-1812).

He and his brother, William, were among the area's first potters. Their father had emigrated from Germany and founded a pottery, which the family ran until the mid-nineteenth century. The jug is signed and dated, which is rare in eighteenth-century American stoneware. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: 664-525 B.C..This lentoid flask, inscribed for a priest named Amenhotep, is an example of a New Year's bottle. Filled perhaps with perfume, oil, or water from the Nile, it would have been a gift associated with the celebration of the beginning of the year. Around the shoulders of the vase are incised bands of floral patterns, meant to echo the vegetal collar that would have been worn by a participant in a ceremonial or festival event or draped around the neck of a jar of wine or oil. Two baboons flank the tall neck of the bottle, which is made to echo a bundle of papyrus and lotus plants. The inscription on the front asks that the Theban triad (Amun, Mut, and Khonsu) give protection to the God's Father, Amenhotep, son of the God's Father} Iufaa; additional inscriptions on the shoulders ask the gods Montu and Amun

Stand 5th-6th century Korea This large footed stand is an example of the gray stoneware vessels found in tombs from the fifth to sixth centuries and is the product of important technological advances in Korean ceramic production. With the exception of Chinese stoneware, the Korean stoneware (kyōngjil t'ogi) of the Three Kingdoms period is the earliest known high-fired ware in the world, requiring kiln temperatures in excess of 1000°C. These wares were produced in a wood-fired climbing kiln, a tunnel-shaped structure typically built up the side of a hill. This closed-kiln design, in contrast to the earlier open or semi-open kiln, produces intense and steady heat and allows control of the oxygen flow into the firing chamber. The characteristic gray color of Three Kingdoms stoneware is the result of the reduction of oxygen in the chamber. Unlike the soft, low-fired earthenware (wajil t'ogi) of earlier periods, stoneware is hard, dense, and impervious to liquids.High-fired glazes represent

Water Container (Ganga-Jumna Lota) 19th century This lota, or water container, is probably based on earlier models of seventeenth-century India that also survived after the beginning of British rule in the region. Its checkerboard pattern, perhaps derived from early Hindu decoration, reflects Islamic influence as wellspecifically, the prominance of geometric patterns in the Islamic world. The square unit exists not only in the checkerboard design but also as a repeated sequence of diamond shapes in the band above the vessel's belly. The technique of employing brass and copper together on the same object, unique to India, is called ganga-jumna, after the contrasting colors of the Ganges and Jumna rivers. The Museum's lota most likely was made in Thanjavur, known for its superior brass production in the nineteenth century.. Water Container (Ganga-Jumna Lota) 444557

Jar with paired birds in panels ca. 1600-1400 B.C. Iran This jar has a flat base, squat body, a carinated shoulder, and everted rim. It is made of buff clay, and has dark brown painted decorations in two registers. The lower register alternates geometric decorations, namely crosshatching and vertical rows of circles, with images of birds. The birds have short, bent legs, big heads and long beaks. The upper register has panels whose lower corners are filled with studded triangles, perhaps meant to indicate wooded slopes. The panels each contain one to three suns.Vessels with very similar decoration have been found at Tepe Giyan and Godin Tepe in western Iran. At both sites they come from graves, and it is difficult to say whether these vessels served a ritual purpose or were objects of everyday life (or both). This jar was formerly in the possession of the archaeologist Ernst Herzfeld, who briefly excavated at Tepe Giyan. Herzfeld published the jar as coming from Giyan, but he never pro
