Late 19th-century Chinese art pottery century-egg jar adorned with beautifully hand-applied bird and fern motifs encircling the body. Over 120 years old, these coastal-inspired vessels were originally used to store preserved “Century Eggs” and now make exceptional garden planters, jardinières, cachepots, or decorative fishbowls. The organic imagery, sculptural form, and naturally aged patina evoke the lush, nature-driven aesthetic often associated with Tony Duquette. Four available.
