About the Item

This Mediterranean terracotta jar, dating to the 19th century, is a beautiful example of utilitarian pottery elevated by form and patina. Likely originating from Southern Italy or the South of France, the jar features a classic ovoid silhouette with gently tapering sides, two looped side handles, and a generous mouth rimmed with a lustrous green glaze. The contrast between the earthy, sun-baked terracotta body and the deep olive-green glaze creates a rustic yet visually captivating effect. Subtle ridges from the hand-thrown process and signs of weathering testify to its age and authenticity. Once used to store water, oil, or olives, this vessel has transitioned from functional storage to sculptural decor. Its presence suits both traditional and modern interiors, whether styled alone, filled with branches, or incorporated into a curated grouping. A timeless piece that reflects the warmth and heritage of the Mediterranean landscape, rich in character, history, and artisanal craftsmanship.
