About the Item
This large pot was used for dyeing textiles, particularly wool and other natural fibers.
These pots were important tools in the art of natural dyeing, which has been practiced for centuries in Turkish textile production. The pot would be filled with water, and natural dyes derived from roots would be added. These dyes could produce a wide range of colors and were key contributors in the beauty and diversity of Turkish textiles.
With its large scale, aged patina, and patterned rim, this one-of-a-kind piece is a stunning centerpiece or design anchor in a modern home, inviting antiquity and abundance into gardens, living rooms, hallways and entryways.
The eastern regions of Turkey, including cities like Van and Erzurum, are known for their distinct ceramic styles that often incorporate motifs from Kurdish and Armenian cultures. The pottery here is typically hand-painted with bold geometric designs and earthy colors. This area is famous for its historic castles and churches, many of which feature ancient ceramic tiles and mosaics.
*One-of-a-kind and marked by time, each of these pieces will show patina and natural imperfections. From oil stains to oxidation, we consider these alterations to be portals into a time long ago.
