An old Chinese earthenware storage jar with a rounded body, narrow neck, and flared rim. It has a dark, smoke-fired surface with signs of age, including wear, encrustation, and a repaired rim with visible cracks. The unglazed base shows reddish clay, suggesting it may date back to the Han Dynasty or a similar early period. The rim has visible damage and has been repaired, with evident crack lines and missing chips; surface wear is consistent with age. Dimensions: 5 in. (H) X 4 1/2 in. (D). I-Code:2003.
