This 12 foot bronze replica sculpture of a wine pitcher from the Chinese Shang Dynasty (1200-1100 B.C.) was a gift to Portland in 2002 from Chinese businessman Huo Baozhu, a producer of reproduction antiquities. It is sixteen times the original size. Huo gave the gift as a demonstration of his love of Portland and Chinese history.

This scultpure is located in the Northwest Park Blocks. These blocks were dedicated to the city by Captain John Couch in 1869. The area was residential by the 1880's. The City Park Commission installed the first supervised playground in 1908. (From: Portland Parks and Recreation). More about the art in the park blocks in the future.
