East Asia, China, Song to Yuan Dynasty, ca. late 13th to mid-14th century CE. A fine pair of wheel-thrown, stoneware mercury jars, each presenting a petite base, a gradually widening body, a rounded shoulder, and a miniscule, raised spout rim. Vessels like these examples were kept within storehouses and were used to store rice wine; despite their name, they were not used for transporting mercury. Size of larger: 4.8" Diameter x 7.6" H (12.2 cm x 19.3 cm)

Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
