Sauce Jar Stand: A Platform for Grouped Vessels

An outdoor platform for placing earthenware jars. It is a small elevated stone slab or brick platform, located in a corner of the courtyard or next to a semi-outdoor corridor; five or six earthenware jars of different sizes and deep brown color are neatly arranged on it, with rough glaze and handmade irregularities on the surface, and their mouths covered with wooden lids or cloth. They are actual fermentation vessels in use, not decorations. A small tree might be nearby. Avoid: arranging the earthenware jars as pure decorative shapes, using colorful and delicate pottery, making the platform a display stand with railings, having too many earthenware jars turning it into a collection.

一個放置陶甕的戶外平台。它是一小塊架高的石板或磚砌平台,位於庭院的一角或半戶外的走廊旁;上面整齊排著五六個大小不同的深褐色陶甕,表面有粗糙的釉與手作的不規則,甕口蓋著木蓋或布。它們是實際在用的發酵容器,不是裝飾。旁邊可能有一株矮樹。避免:把陶甕當成純裝飾排列成造型、使用彩色與精緻的陶器、把平台做成有欄杆的展示台、讓陶甕的數量過多變成陳列。
