Antique Terracotta Lidded Storage Urn with Brass Collar — Monumental Pair
A pair of antique terracotta storage urns thrown by hand in the classic meiping form, each fitted with a domed brass collar and lid.
The cream glaze is ancient and uneven, worn to warm ochre at the base where centuries of use have left their mark, the surface bearing iron staple repairs that speak to a long history of preservation. These are not decorative reproductions but working vessels of genuine antiquity, elevated by their brass fittings into objects of considerable presence. Imposing in scale and irreplaceable in character, the pair brings the weight of history into any interior.
