Earthenware
Henan province, China
Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD)
Pair of beautiful cocoon pots with remains of painting in soft pastel colours.
The pots are created in the shape of a silkworm cocoon, a sign of wealth and status in China. Silk was one of the most precious goods in Antiquity and the Chinese held the means to production of it a secret for almost a thousand years.
When these pots were made, the Han dynasty had a lucrative silk trade with the Roman Empire via the newly established silk roads, hence the popularity of the shape of the pots.
