About the Item
Martaban jars are basic stoneware storage containers or pots used during the Ming dynasty. Thai, Chinese, Burmese, and Cambodian goods were shipped throughout southeast Asia in these large jars that were produced near port towns. Typically they were covered in black, brown or amber glazes and displayed various decorations. Commonly they held provisions such as oil, wine and fruits. The expert where we purchased the pot's opinion was 17th c, personally, I don't see that, but clearly it is very old and very heavy. Please read the below comment about a chip around the top lip of the jar.
**Please note the lip has a 1.75" long chip; images 1 and 6.

Antique Huge Italian Olive Oil Jar or Amphora Great Color Italian Late 1800
s
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. The color palette and the sheen of the glaze they are simply magical and create a truly great focal point. When we started in the antique business...
