Tall Korean Silla Dynasty Blackware Jar

East Asia, Korea, Silla Dynasty, ca. 668 to 935 CE. A wheel-thrown blackware pottery jar with a flat base, an inverted piriform body, a squat neck, and a petite flared rim. This vessel was perhaps used to store various types of foodstuffs, and the size suggests it was meant for use in a personal home rather than a large storehouse. Size: 5.6" W x 10.1" H (14.2 cm x 25.7 cm).

Provenance: Estate of William Stockton, Colorado, USA; acquired between July 20, 1966 and January 7, 1974 while Mr. Stockton was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. During this period he traveled primarily to Korea, but also to Japan, Vietnam, and other countries in Southeast Asia.
