About the Item

This 20th-century terracotta olive jar comes from Western Anatolia, where it was originally crafted for storing olive oil after harvest. The broad-shouldered, twin-handled form and narrow base reflect its utilitarian origins, combining function with bold presence. Its clay body carries a partial cocoa-toned glaze on the neck, serving both as a seal for oil preservation and as a visual accent. Over time the red terracotta has naturally darkened and developed smoke marks and surface wear, offering a patina that attests to its working life and handcrafted heritage. As a statement vessel, it offers material authenticity and sculptural form — ideal for interiors with Mediterranean, rustic-chic or artisan-grounded character. Use it freestanding as a focal point or fill it with dried branches for understated drama. Material: Terracotta clay with partial glaze Origin: Western Anatolia (Turkey), 20th Century Condition: Excellent vintage condition; wear consistent with age and use Dimensions: Height 47 cm × Width 30 cm × Opening 13 cm Care Instructions: Avoid submerging in water. If used for live arrangements, place a slim internal liner or vase to preserve the interior surface and clay body.
