Han repro pot with long neck

Han dynasty reproduction pot with long straight neck, in grey and beige colours. The pots are handmade so pots will look the same, but not identical.
Sometimes shapes and aesthetics will last through the ages! Our newly made Han Repro Pots are inspired by ancient Chinese ritual vessels, called Hu.

Thousands of years ago, a Hu vase would have been cast in bronze, heavily decorated, and used as ritual wine vessels. During the Han dynasty (2000 years ago) these Hu pots were made from earthenware and were used in daily life and as burials gifts.
The production of Hu vases continued throughout Chinese history. You can see the typical curving pear-shape reflected in porcelain Ming vases and elegant Song pots. Our reproduction pot are inspired by the simple Hu vases from the Han dynasty and reproduced in the same kind of unglazed earthenware as has been used 2000 years ago!
