{"product_id":"19th-century-pale-rimmed-kayapa-grain-jar-large","title":"Pale-Rimmed Kayapa Grain Jar, Large","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese large jars were thrown in the village of Kayapa to hold a household's grain, filled after the harvest and drawn down through the year. Each carries raised bands of clay pinched into a rope twist around the body, put on for strength as much as for looks, since a tall jar standing full takes its stress around the middle of the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim on this one fired several shades lighter than the wall beneath it, a pale collar above a body that went almost to charcoal. Its mouth is wide because grain is taken out by the scoopful rather than poured, and an arm has to reach the bottom once the jar runs low. Below that the body narrows steadily to a base far smaller than the mouth, which is what let a jar this size be tipped and walked around rather than lifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday its scale makes it a floor piece, standing alone in a corner or beside a hearth, or planted with something tall. The rope bands catch light across the body and give it a texture a plain jar this size would not have.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kasa Petra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46934077800609,"sku":"KP-00152","price":670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/2346\/9217\/files\/Lokasyon2000pxKare448.jpg?v=1788073312","url":"https:\/\/kasapetra.com\/products\/19th-century-pale-rimmed-kayapa-grain-jar-large","provider":"Kasa Petra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
