About the Item

In the trade, we commonly call these an Olive Oil Jar, but are actually an amphora, which is a type of container of a specific shape and dimension, which began in the Neolithic Period, which ran from approximately 9000BC to 3500BC. Amphorae vessels were used to transport olive oil and wine. Interior designers typically will use the amphora vases as you would a piece of sculpture and they are equally at home placed inside the house or outside. This particular Olive Oil Jar is an unusual size, in that most of the jars tend to be about 4-5 feet high and this beautiful jar is just over 2-feet in height.

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...
