Description

This handcrafted Jianshui purple pottery storage jar features a chisel-textured surface, created using traditional hand-carving techniques that leave rhythmic tool marks across the exterior. The textured finish enhances grip while highlighting the raw, tactile character of Jianshui purple clay.

Designed for versatile daily use, the jar is suitable for water storage, rice storage, tea cake preservation, plant care, and fish keeping. Fired at high temperatures, the dense clay body offers excellent stability and durability for long-term use.

The internal design follows a single-airflow structural principle, regulating internal air exchange as a system rather than through open pores. While this structure helps maintain balanced internal conditions, the body itself is non-porous and does not allow water penetration, making the jar suitable for holding water and supporting aquatic environments without leakage.

For tea cake storage, the controlled internal environment helps prevent moisture buildup while supporting aroma concentration over time. When used for water storage, the dense clay body helps maintain water stability. For rice storage, it reduces excess humidity and discourages insect activity.

The non-porous structure also makes this jar suitable for plant care, helping maintain root stability and reducing the risk of root rot. When used for fish keeping, the jar provides a stable environment without seepage.

Each jar is handcrafted, and variations in texture and form are a natural result of the handmade process.
