Pot, Watering 16th-17th century British Two types of watering pots were familiar to the medieval household, of which the present example, known as a chantepleure, was the more usual. This pot, derived from a form known in antiquity, is shaped like a jug. The handle arching from the body of the vessel to the very top of the neck is so placed that the thumb can easily cover the small opening. The bottom of the vessel is perforated with numerous holes and serves as a sprinkler. The pot was immersed in water until filled, and once the thumb was placed over the hole the water would not flow. As soon as the thumb was lifted, however, the water would sprinkle out of the bottom. The other type of watering pot, the English versions of which were primarily produced in Sussex, more closely resembled the modern type, having a sprinkler head on a pouring spout attached to a canister-shaped vessel. Watering pots were used to tend not only to kitchen gardens but indoor potted plants as well. This exa

On the other two sides are silver-inlaid images of an egret and a three-legged toad, which is a symbol of wealth. A two-character mark of Shisou is executed in silver inlay on the exterior of the bottom. The vase is covered with a warm brown patina that bears no trace of being buried underg

Terracotta Hadra hydria (water jar) late 3rd century B.C. Greek, Ptolemaic, Alexandrian Faint traces of an elaborate helmet with a griffin crest, a shield bearing the snakey head of Medusa, and a cuirass, are evident on this white-ground hydria. A warrior's armor was a common subject for vases destined for burial, since it alluded to the both the heroic character of the deceased, as well as the manner of death. Sites in Alexandria have yielded hydriai with similar motifs in much better states of preservation, thus providing an idea of the original appearence of this vase..

Kettle with Crane Design, 1392-1573. Japan, Muromachi period (1392-1573). Iron; diameter: 30.4 cm (11 15/16 in.); diameter of mouth: 18.6 cm (7 5/16 in.); overall: 18.2 cm (7 3/16 in.); with handle: 31.5 cm (12 3/8 in.). Water supplied from a jar such as the fine Shino-ware vessel (1972.9.a-b) was transferred to an iron kettle for boiling as part of the tea ceremony. Former CMA director Sherman Lee described the jagged, broken skirt of this kettle as "attractively damaged," complementing the unobtrusive wispy designs on its rough metal surface. The character of this kettle-worn, coarse, the "perfection" of symmetry destroyed-was cherished by tea masters for its powerful humility.
