This piece is a jar-shaped earthenware with a wide mouth and a gently constricted shoulder. Its base is rounded, suggesting it was likely crafted for the preservation of seeds or similar items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the vessel is adorned with fine vertical brush strokes, creating an engaging texture. This technique involves using a flat piece of wood, akin to a kamaboko board, to smooth and refine the surface of the shaped pottery after it has been formed. It includes a woven base for stability when upright. The condition of this piece is excellent, maintaining its original form, and it has been fired to a relatively hard finish, making it a recommended specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts elegant silhouette invites floral arrangements. For use as a vase, please place a floral insert within.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832379699481,"sku":null,"price":34100.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/products\/rcnir-2023-00012705.jpg?v=1752155403","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-in\/products\/antique-japanese-ceramics-132","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
