Makou Ginger Jar 7¾" dia x 7¾"

Crafted from the red clay earth characteristic to the Makou Town region, our three styles of vintage Makou Jars are typical wares of this scenic community. Flanked by the Han River to the north and Baishi Lake to the south, the region has been creating earthenware for centuries for the storage of common goods. Our vintage Makou Jar was used to store rice and eggs, while the Makou Jar with Handles was used to store oil. The Makou Ginger Jar was used more often to hold salt than its namesake spicy herb. Each Makou Jar is handmade and has its own unique characteristics based on its lifetime of use.
