Pot with Spout

Arts of Asia

c. 1000–300 B.C.

Japan

In the Final Jomon period, especially in Aomori in northern Honshu, distinctive incised swirl patterns appear on many works. This pot with a spout for liquids, which is recorded as having been unearthed at the town of Nagawa in Aomori, is extremely lightweight, and the decorative patterns were made with a delicate and careful hand. The bottom, in particular, has a beautiful filled-in swirl pattern.
