About the Item

Introducing the Handcrafted Anatolian Rustic Earthenware Storage Vessel, a timeless artefact steeped in the rich traditions of Anatolian pottery. This remarkable vessel hails from the heart of Turkey, specifically from the central Anatolian plains, where pottery has been an integral part of daily life for centuries. Its robust, utilitarian design with symmetrical handles reflects its practical use in traditional households, often as a storage pot for grains, olives, or water. Crafted from natural clay, the pot showcases a warm, earthy tone enhanced by its distressed finish and visible traces of age and use. These subtle imperfections and natural patina tell a story of its origins, making it a perfect piece for those who appreciate authentic craftsmanship. Its clean yet rustic form makes it an ideal fit for Mediterranean decor, bohemian interiors, and wabi-sabi-inspired spaces, where the beauty of imperfection and history is celebrated. This artisan storage vessel offers versatility in use, whether as a statement piece in an entryway, a decorative planter for dried botanicals, or a functional container with the addition of a vase liner insert for live arrangements. Its understated elegance and historical significance make it suitable for rustic farmhouse interiors, cottage-core settings, or even as a focal point in a modern, earthy, minimalistic design. Key Features: Reflects the traditions of Anatolian craftsmanship. Handcrafted with natural earthenware materials, retaining a textured, organic finish. Designed with a functional wide mouth and sturdy double handles, rooted in practicality. Serves as a decorative vase a planter, or a conversation-starting centrepiece. Additional Note: If using for live plants or flowers, a vase liner insert is recommended to prevent water damage. Please note that due to its handcrafted and vintage nature, slight variations in texture, tone, and finish add to its authenticity and charm.

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).

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...
