Handbuilt Pumpkin Harvest Jar (Chinese Shiwan Art Pottery)

Product Code: 306-C000-534

Shiwan Art Pottery, also known as Shekwan ware, is an important part of the Chinese traditional culture. This particular type of ceramics had a very cultural and religious element to their overall design. Shiwan ware has been the shining star in Chinese folk ceramic art as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties (618-906AD), and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Shiwan craftsmen are well-known for their glazing techniques and unique forms (all hand-formed). While directed by a master craftsman, every object is unique, and therefore, a limited edition. Most of the National Master pieces and Museum pieces exhibiting superlative and delicate craftsmanship have been collected by national museums and collectors all over the world.

The Shiwan style is free, unpretentious, and shows a spontaneous, direct vision, which is typical of unsophisticated art.
