Storage jar, early 17th century, Unknown Japanese, 21 1/2 × 17 1/2 × 18 in. (54.61 × 44.45 × 45.72 cm), Tokoname ware; stoneware with natural ash glaze, Japan, 17th century, A light-colored glaze descends from the wide neck and covers the sloping shoulders of this storage jar from the Tokoname kilns. Named for the town of Tokoname on the Chita Peninsula south of Nagoya, Tokoname ware has been produced since the eleventh century at a number of kilns in the vicinity of the town. The high iron content of Tokoname clay leads to a characteristic dark, red-brown surface.

Vase 444740Bottle 1 CE-300 CE Mediterranean Region. Initially affordable only among the wealthy, glass was used in ancient Rome as containers for oils, perfume, and tablewares. The variety of glass-making techniques reveals the changing tastes and fashions over the centuries. During the 1st century CE, cast glass was a novel form that was a luxury for the Roman household. But by the end of the century, the innovation of blown glass allowed for cheaper and less labor-intensive production, making it affordable to people of lesser means. This container would have been just one object among the array of mirrors, combs, palettes for mixing cosmetics, bottles and other containers used to beautify well-to-do Romans..

(41.1 x 31.75 cm), Stoneware with brown glaze, China, 12th-13th century, This barrel-shaped stool is embellished with an appliqué floral and tendril pattern in keeping with Sung (960-1279) and Yuan (1280-1368) taste. It is unusual to find ceramic garden seats dating to this early period, but a thermoluminescence test confirms a date of about 1250 for this rare object, making it one of the earliest ceramic stools known. Gardens with large decorative rocks became popular during Sung and outdoor seating made of stone in stone or glazed ceramics were often used in such settings. The Chinese genius for ceramics is expressed here in a lovely, yet functional, weather resistant object that would have been relatively inexpensive to produce.Prunus Vase. Culture: China.

The accounts by official court historians and descriptions provided by visitors evoke a vibrant cultural center continually redefined by its leadership through shifting internal and external power dynamics. According to oral tradition, circa 1300, Edo chiefs are reputed to have reached out to the leader of neighboring Ife, Oranmiyan, to establish a new divinely sanctioned royal dynasty. Since then, the investiture of Benins rulers to the title of obas has conferred upon them at once a role of chief priest officiating in important religious ceremonies and presiding over an elaborate structure of palace officials. During the fifteenth century reign of Oba Ewuare, Benins armies were formed and the fortification of its capital with a massive wall undertaken.

Dragons were associated with the pseudo-planet al-Jawzahr, able to cause and reverse eclipses by swallowing moon and sun, and were thus both terrifying and beneficial, protective, and apotropaic. The bowl may have had a perceived beneficial quality, amplified by a twice-inscribed benediction: May your power and glory be perpetual / May your good fortune surpass all limits / So that everything in this bowl brings you enjoyment / Oh master of the world, may it prolong your life..
