Vintage Chinese Rice Fermentation Pot No.1

This beautifully crafted vintage Chinese pot was traditionally used for fermenting rice, a staple in Chinese households for generations. Likely originating from the early to mid-20th century, the pot features a robust stoneware construction with a deep olive green glaze that highlights its textured surface. The hand-formed lines encircling the body of the pot are characteristic of the utilitarian yet artistic craftsmanship found in rural China.

With its rounded shape and narrow neck, this piece was designed to store and ferment rice, essential for creating traditional rice wines and vinegars. Over time, the pot has developed a rich patina, which adds to its historical significance and rustic appeal.

Today, this vintage piece serves as a striking decorative item. Its earthy tones and simple, elegant form make it a perfect addition to any home, whether used as a statement vase, a standalone sculptural piece, or as part of a collection of artisanal decor.
