Stoneware

Originating in China in the Shang dynasty, stonewear pottery is fired at a high temperature (about 1,200° C [2,200° F]) until vitrified, i.e., glasslike and impervious to liquid. It is usually opaque and since it is nonporous, it does not require a glaze, so glazes are purely decorative. It is extremely durable and used for such items as the glazed garden stools in VA’s collection.

    This vibrant stoneware Shiwan censer is the central part of a 5-piece altar set featured in our Instagram post.  Placed in a special room considered the home’s center it was used to perform ritual offerings honoring ancestors deities to bring good fortune and long life and repel malevolent energy and spirits. Jost (incense) sticks were held inside, and smoke could waft from the lid. This truly special set should be kept in tact in the home of a lucky resident to continue to foster positive feng shui.
