About the Item

This beautiful 19th-century Mediterranean terracotta jar features a graceful baluster form, glazed in a richly saturated olive green that evokes the tones of ancient earthenware from Southern Europe. With its high shoulders and narrow foot, the piece balances rustic functionality and sculptural presence. Twin loop handles extend from the rim to the shoulder, enhancing the silhouette and adding symmetry. The hand-applied glaze is irregular and expressive, showcasing the artisan’s process through natural drips, color variation, and subtle surface pitting. A visible patch of wear exposes the raw terracotta beneath, offering a tactile reminder of the jar’s utilitarian origins. Whether displayed solo or among a collection of antique ceramics, this jar infuses interiors with timeless Mediterranean character, warmth, and organic beauty.
