Turşu Küpü (Turkish Pickle Jar - Medium)
About the Item
This medium jar was likely used to pickle and preserve food by generations of families in the Levant. The art of pickling is a cherished tradition in Turkish households, practiced in the summer and autumn months. The thick, porous clay vessels from this region make these küps perfectly suited for storing a family’s harvest as preserved delicacies to be enjoyed throughout the rest of the year.
The Aydın region of Anatolia, which is located in western Turkey, has rich history of pottery making, dating back to ancient times. Aydın potters often involve hand-building methods (working with clay by hand using only simple tools) such as coiling, pinching, and slab construction, making this, quite literally, a handmade piece of Anatolian history.
*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.
