Ceramic Ring-Handled Jar in Gunmetal Black

A stoneware vessel featuring a tapered, ovoid body that narrows toward a flat base and widens at the shoulder. The piece is finished in a matte gunmetal black, achieved through a blackened slip or reduction firing process. The jar is flanked by two small loop handles at the shoulder, each supporting a suspended, free-moving ceramic ring. The exterior is decorated with multiple vertical rows of incised wavy patterns created while the clay was leather-hard. The underside of the base features a circular white adhesive label with black text reading RUBIN COLLECTION. No maker's mark is evident on the base. The form and surface treatment are characteristic of contemporary decorative pottery produced in the style of historical artifacts. Dimensions: 4.00"L x 4.00"W x 8.00"H.
