Vintage Makou Jar

This product is eligible for in-store pickup only, due to its size, fragility, and one-of-a-kind nature.  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. Makou Jars are available in three styles - Makou Jar, Makou Jar with Handles, and Makou Ginger Jar. Size, color, and condition vary. Please note that this is a vintage item so the condition, size, and color will vary.
