I learned about the moon jar a few days ago. The jars look beautiful and all but the articles I read all said they are special but never mentioned why.
Is it the shape, is it the technique of making them in two halves, or is it something else?

Yes! Typically, clay pots are made on a potter’s wheel, made of flat slabs that are joined and molded into shape, or made of coils of clay stacked in each other. It’s unusual to construct a pot by preshaping two halves and joining them at the last minute – honestly, it’s probably one of the most finicky methods, because of how hard it would be to make the pot thin and light without the halves collapsing before they go into the kiln.
