Over a century ago, a gifted potter from northern China crafted this organic clay jar out of rich dark river clay mined from the river basins of Asia. The surface is stamped with auspicious symbols: The Tibetan Buddhist endless knot, and the peony, representing Spring and feminine beauty. Left entirely uncolored, the natural progression of the clay has created varying textures of clouded and smooth surfaces. Under natural light, this discoloration makes the pot seem frozen in time, as if the river clay is eternally drying in front of you.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
