Indonesian pottery bottles

Antique rustic terracotta vases in Peranakan style dragged up from the riverbed in Sumatra. These unique pottery vases embody the principles of wabi-sabi with their imperfect shapes and colourful marks of the river! They were probably used as a single use water or alcohol container. They have a very small opening and a small base. They can stand on their own, but the use of a stand is preferred. The bottles range from light grey to dark grey to grey-terracotta to terracotta-brown.
