East Asia, Japan, Middle Jomon period, ca. 2000 to 1000 BCE. A large, deep, conical urn made using the coil method, the clay mixed by the woman who made it (women produced all ceramics in this culture) with adhesive materials like mica, lead, fibers, and crushed shells. She would then smooth the interior and exterior and create cord-like motifs around the exterior, many of which can still be seen here, and for which this enigmatic culture is named - "Jomon" means "cord pattern" in Japanese. An applied, rope-like strip of clay is just under the slightly rolled out rim. Jomon pottery is some of the oldest ever made, and much of it has a similar form as this example: "fukabachi," deep bowls or jars. The flattened base indicates that it is probably from the early Middle Jomon period. Size: 10.8" W x 19.55" H (27.4 cm x 49.7 cm).The fukabachi style emerged at the beginning of the Jomon period and persisted for centuries. These were used for cooking and storage; the cultivation of rice, which began around this time, created demand for ceramic domestic vessels. People lived in small communities, in square-shaped pithouses and had regular trade with the Korean peninsula and with each other, creating a fairly uniform ceramic tradition across a wide geographic area.This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase. Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection Condition: Repaired from multiple pieces, with some areas of restoration. Overpainting along some of the repair lines. Repairs are generally unobtrusive. Two drill holes from TL testing: outside the rim, and along the exterior lower body.
