About the Item

A beautifully weathered terracotta vessel from early 20th-century Anatolia, hand-thrown in coarse local clay and fired in a traditional wood kiln. Originally used for storing olive oil or grains, its narrow neck and rounded shoulders reflect a distinctly rural design — practical yet quietly elegant. The surface reveals deep, earthen tones of burnt sienna, umber, and ash — a naturally developed patina that speaks to years of use and open-air storage. Textural and raw, the finish captures the spirit of Mediterranean craftsmanship — tactile, grounded, and full of depth. Perfect as a sculptural accent in farmhouse, Mediterranean, or wabi-sabi interiors, this vessel brings an authentic, timeworn texture to modern settings. Whether left unadorned or filled with dried foliage, it anchors any space with quiet strength and organic beauty.
