About the Item

Antique clay pot, planter, or urn, which we would normally describe as terra-cotta, but we are not 100% positive our large planter is actually terra-cotta. The planter/urn is made from a clay that had quite a bit of small rock with the clay and appears to have been fired in a low temperature kiln. Most likely European and extremely heavy and well-constructed probably over 100-years ago. You won’t have to worry about this one falling over in the wind. There are no prior visible repairs. Please see missing section at very bottom, although there is no actual hole. **Please note damage at the bottom, image 12.

Antique Huge Italian Olive Oil Jar or Amphora Great Color Italian Late 1800's
Located in Chicago, 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...
