About the Item

This 19th-century terracotta jar originates from the Balkan Peninsula, a region celebrated for its centuries-old ceramic traditions. Hand-thrown and fired in local kilns, the vessel features a tall, tapered form with a rounded body and narrow base, complemented by twin loop handles for function and balance. The upper portion is coated in a vivid green glaze that drips organically down the surface, contrasting beautifully with the unglazed terracotta body below. These natural variations in tone and texture reveal both the artisanal process and the vessel’s long history of utilitarian use, likely for storing oil, water, or preserved foods. With its authentic patina, earthy hues, and striking glaze, this jar now serves as a sculptural accent piece, bridging rustic utility and timeless decorative appeal.
