About the Item
Add a Mediterranean touch to your home or garden with this elegant glazed terracotta olive jar. Crafted in southern Italy circa 1860, the large amphora features a classic tapered silhouette with a wide rounded body, narrow neck, and double side handles for easy transport. The vessel is further adorned with its original pouring spout near the base, once used for dispensing olive oil or wine. The top half is dressed with a rich, hand-applied mustard glaze that beautifully drips into the unglazed lower body, creating a warm and authentic tonal contrast.
This antique amphora is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, showcasing a beautifully weathered surface and subtle texture throughout. Versatile and full of rustic charm, it could be displayed indoors with dried foliage, or placed outdoors as a decorative accent on a patio or garden terrace.

Located in BENSENVILLE, IL
Not all antique Italian glazed Olive Oil Jars or Vases are created equal and this particular Olive Oil jar’s colors are simply beyond spectacular. Dating from the late 1800’s and discovered in a field in the south of Italy by an old friend. Most people refer to these as amphora jars, beginning in the Neolithic Period and running from approximately 9000BC to 3500BC. Generally, Amphorae were used in large numbers to transport Olive Oil and Wine. The design trade and most antique dealers simply call these vessels or Olive Oil Jars. For us, we look at the Olive Oil Jars as pieces of sculpture and they are as good looking outdoors as they are in your home.
