Malthe Jar with Handles

Our vintage Malthie jar comes from Hubei, China where these vessels were traditionally used for everyday storage. Different forms served different purposes—larger jars held rice or eggs handled versions stored oil and ginger jars were often used for salt. Each piece is handmade and shaped through years of use which means size, markings and surface wear vary from jar to jar. Use it as a sculptural vessel on a console, shelf, floor or display it as a standalone object that reflects its original working role.
