About the Item
This large "green-glazed" küp was likely used for wine, water, goat's milk, or cheese by generations of families in the Levant. The phosphorescent green glaze, a traditional technique on pottery wheels in Konya and Isparta, is as functional as it is beautiful. The glaze provides a protective and hygienic layer, making these objects optimal vessels for storing food staples and preserving delicacies.
The “green glaze” technique marks an epoch of ceramic innovation in Anatolian artistic history. One of the oldest urban centers of the world, Konya was the capital city of the Anatolian Seljuk Empire from 1060 until 1307. As the Anatolian Seljuks embellished their magnificent structures with colorful ceramic tiles, Konya became an esteemed global hub of ceramics (and remains so today). The pottery wheel transformed the production & design of the ceramics industry and the traditional glazing technique of Konya craftsmen began to be used on jars, jugs, and vases being produced at scale for the first time. Rumi, the great 13th century Sufi poet, is buried in Konya.
*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.

Sırlı Küp (Turkish Glazed Jar - Medium)
Located in Ojai, US
This medium glazed küp was likely used to store cheese by generations of families in the Levant. The design is similar to jugs used to carry water, wine, or other liquids (as cheese is traditionally stored in its brine). Glazing, a traditional technique on pottery wheels in Konya and Isparta, is as functional as it is beautiful. The glaze provides a protective and hygienic layer, making these objects optimal vessels for storing food staples and preserving delicacies.
Cheese is a staple in most Turkish breakfasts today, with a fascinating history springing from the Fertile Crescent: the region of Southwest Asia that includes portions of present-day Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Around 8000 BCE, the first humans to keep livestock began firing pottery that could store dairy products in the warm climate. In this process, they discovered that they could use ceramic strainers...
