About the Item
This tall double-handled terracotta jar is a fine example of early 20th-century Mediterranean pottery — practical in origin yet sculptural in form. Hand-thrown from coarse earthen clay, it would have once stored olive oil or grains, its elongated body and narrow neck designed to keep contents cool and secure.
The surface carries a rich natural patina — deep earthen browns with soft green-grey undertones — created over decades of use and exposure. Subtle tool marks and firing variations remain visible, preserving the rhythm of its making. The double handles are generously curved, giving it a strong, balanced profile that feels both functional and timeless.
Now celebrated for its texture and form, this piece brings quiet depth and authenticity to interiors — beautiful on its own as a sculptural vessel, or styled with branches or dried stems in rustic, farmhouse, or wabi-sabi settings.
Handle with Care:
Avoid submerging in water. For live greenery or flowers, use a watertight liner to preserve the clay.
