EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a slop jar from the 9th century, believed to be from Hebei province in China. Created during the Tang Dynasty by the Chinese School, this ceramic piece measures 10.4x15.6 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution, USA. The slop jar is made of Xing or Xing-type ware, characterized by its delicate porcelain material and transparent colorless glaze. The intricate craftsmanship of this ancient artifact transports us back in time to a period when such vessels were commonly used for disposing waste liquids or scraps. Its small size suggests that it was likely utilized within a household setting rather than for industrial purposes. Gifted to the gallery by Charles Lang Freer, this remarkable piece represents an important part of Chinese history and culture. It serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of Tang Dynasty craftsmen who created functional objects with exquisite beauty. Through this photo print, we are given a glimpse into centuries past - reminding us of our connection to those who came before us and highlighting the enduring legacy of artistic expression across different civilizations.
