About the Item
This small, lime-washed Turkish vase was likely originally used to store butter, and then eventually they started to use these open-mouthed bowls for flowers. Today, the layers of lime-wash on this piece invite the poetics of ancient Anatolian pantries into a modern home.
Lime-washing is a technique that has been used for centuries by Anatolian ceramicists to refresh, seal, and protect the surface of a clay vessel. A solution of lime (calcium hydroxide) mixed with water creates a thin, milky solution that is brushed or sprayed onto the vessel before it is fired in the kiln. In the heat, the lime reacts with the clay, forming a durable glaze that seals the surface. Artisans periodically reapplied the wash to ensure longevity.
This küp is from Kayapa, a small town located in the Bursa Province of Turkey. Nestled in the scenic Marmara region, Kayapa boasts a rich history and natural beauty. The town’s ceramic heritage features simple, rustic designs that reflect the agricultural lifestyle. Kayapa’s artisans maintain traditional techniques, creating pottery that blends utility with artistic charm. The lush landscapes and fertile plains of Kayapa provide a serene backdrop to its vibrant local culture and crafts.
*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.
