Called storage jars “martaban” by the connoisseur, they are commonly known as “gusi” or “tapayan” by native peoples of the Philippines who continue to use them in the hinterland in the ritual context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally fashioned as utilitarian vessels, jars were containers of water, wine, pickled foodstuff, and other provisions for the ship’s crew during the long sea voyages from China to various ports beyond. A keen interest in jars developed in Southeast Asia and they eventually became trade items in themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book contains a collection of three essays on the subject of stoneware jars: the introduction provides a comparative picture of jar types found in the Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia; the history and trade essay is an examination of historical facts relevant to the study of jars as well as trading routes and diverse nationalities involved in this trade into the archipelago; and the third essay is an ethnographic study of the role of jars in Philippine rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthors: Cynthia O.
