Description:
A red pottery jar, Dawenkou culture, Neolithic period, Dawenkou culture, ca. 4,300-2,400 B.C. Property from the Walter Hochstadter Collection. A red pottery jar, proudly part of the Walter Hochstadter Collection. The jar's body is encircled by a decorative 'Rope' border, with a slightly turned lip and a tapering body, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship to detail characteristic of pottery from this era. 20 cm diameter, 19 cm high. Similar example: this red pottery jar shares similarities with other artifacts from the Dawenkou culture, such as the red pottery tripod ewer (lot 125) featured in Sotheby's Paris 5000 years auction of 2023. Both pieces exemplify the craftsmanship and cultural significance of ancient Chinese pottery and are adorned with decorative 'Rope' bands, underscoring the shared artistic sensibilities of the Dawenkou culture, 20 x 19 high cm. Provenance: The Walter Hochstadter Collection
