Thank you for stopping by. This vase was given to me about forty years ago. It was found in storage. It seems that black pottery flourished in the late Neolithic period, the Longshan culture, in China. Black pottery developed in the Yellow River and Yangtze River regions, and is said to characterize the Longshan culture of those areas. This vase was given to me by a famous person in China, and although it is not a flashy vase, I believe it allows one to feel the long history of China. I also feel that the craftsmanship is wonderful. I would like to offer it to someone who is interested. Please refer to the photos for the size. The box has some stains due to aging.
