Chinese Oil Pot No.1

This dark glazed pot from Shanxi province, China, dates back to the late Qing Dynasty (c. 1850-1900). Crafted from durable ceramics, it features a short neck and broad base with a distinctive glaze that varies from blue-black to greenish-black. Traditionally used for storing water, oil, and food, it now serves as an excellent flower pot, especially when paired with a glass vase inside.
