This functional folk piece features embossed Chinese script flanked by stylised wheat sheaves, all finished in a richly crackled glaze that adds depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003eThe script reads “人民公社” (People’s Commune), placing the piece in the Maoist era (likely 1950s–1970s). Originally used for holding matches or kitchen items, the design includes a hole at the back for hanging and a domed, perforated base typical of traditional utilitarian pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003eIts deep green glaze and hand-moulded shape give it strong visual appeal for collectors of Chinese folk ceramics, rustic interiors, or mid-century historical items. Ideal for adding an authentic and subtly political accent to a kitchen, utility room, or wabi-sabi space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1591\"\u003e📏 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"1589\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003eHeight: 18.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003eWidth: 14 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003eDepth: 7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003e🔍 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1662\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003eHanging hole at rear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1713\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"1713\"\u003eDomed, pierced base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"1755\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1755\"\u003eRaised traditional Chinese characters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003eIconic wheat motifs symbolising agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003e🧾 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1822\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003eVery good vintage condition with natural age-related crazing and minor glaze wear around edges.
