About the Item

Rustic, honest, and richly textured, this 19th-century Spanish terracotta jar captures the raw beauty of Mediterranean craftsmanship. Hand-formed with a gently tapered base, full rounded shoulders, and dual ear handles, it was originally intended for household use—most likely to store preserved goods, grains, or olive oil. The ochre glaze around the neck, still partially intact, contrasts beautifully with the chalky white and ash-gray efflorescence that now coats its surface, the result of decades of sun, soil, and use. The jar’s imperfections—nicks, glaze drips, and salt marks—testify to its authenticity and enduring character. Every mark tells a story, evoking the simplicity and utility of rural Spanish life. Today, it serves as a sculptural decorative object with timeless appeal, equally at home in rustic interiors, minimalist settings, or curated collections of European farmhouse ceramics.
