Large Chinese Han Dynasty / Warring States Pottery Jar

This large and nicely-shaped pottery jar was made during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 220) or possibly earlier, during the Warring States period (475 - 221 BC). It is made from a relatively high-fired dense grey pottery. To the worn upper surface there are traces of faint very lightly incised bands. The lower body is decorated with surrounding combed lines. To the shoulder there is a small depression that most likely occurred during firing.

Diameter 27 cm (10.5 inches), height 24.5 cm (9.5 inches). Notwithstanding the expected surface wear, this jar is in fine condition and has no restoration or repair.
