Antique Southeast Asian Martaban Jar (late 18th century)
We have sourced a small collection of thrown Martaban stoneware storage jars with an iron-rich glaze. The body features relief moulded panels with stylised birds and foliage, a rare decorative detail more commonly reserved for higher grade export jars.
Martaban jars were produced across Burma and northern Thailand and used throughout the Maritime Silk Road for transporting liquids and dry goods. Today they are sought after for their sculptural presence, weight, and unique glaze, making them ideal statement pieces for wabi-sabi, rustic, or modern organic spaces.
- Authentic antique, late Qing to early Republic era (c. 1880–1930)
- Highly tactile glaze with natural age pitting and surface variation
- Thick-walled, very weighty and stable, can be displayed floor-standing or on a low plinth
- Excellent original condition with expected historical wear
- Please note no two pieces are the same and each will have slight variations
Dimensions: height 16”, opening 5”, width 16”
Care Instructions
Vintage and antique items are delicate and require special care. If necessary, wipe gently with a damp cloth and avoid use of any chemicals. We recommend dried or faux foliage, however if you do decide to pair with fresh flowers, we recommend inserting a pot liner. Ideal for indoor use, however if you do decide to display outside, we would advise drilling a draining hole and be sure to protect from frost
