Square in form with gently chamfered edges, the piece reflects postwar domestic design at its best: practical, cheerful, and made to last. Originally intended as a tea or tobacco jar, it now reads effortlessly as a decorative accent with real presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"2642\" data-start=\"2615\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2899\" data-start=\"2643\"\u003eCeramic Lidded Jar\u003cbr data-end=\"2664\" data-start=\"2661\"\u003e→ Date: c. 1940s–1950s\u003cbr data-end=\"2689\" data-start=\"2686\"\u003e→ Material: Glazed earthenware\u003cbr data-end=\"2722\" data-start=\"2719\"\u003e→ Form: Square body with fitted lid and molded foot\u003cbr data-end=\"2776\" data-start=\"2773\"\u003e→ Decoration: Hand-applied floral motif with outlined and filled detailing\u003cbr data-end=\"2853\" data-start=\"2850\"\u003e→ Origin: Likely European or Japanese export\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3059\" data-start=\"2901\"\u003eThe surface shows natural glaze crazing throughout, consistent with age and original firing, adding depth and character rather than detracting from the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"3076\" data-start=\"3061\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3303\" data-start=\"3077\"\u003eVery good vintage condition.
