Large Turkish Vintage Olive Jar, 19th Century

About the Item

Large Turkish Vintage Olive Jar, 19th Century This striking large-sized Turkish olive jar, with origins dating back to at least the 17th century and potentially even older, stands as a magnificent relic of its time. Crafted from terracotta, this antique vessel once served the practical purpose of holding olives, a staple in Turkish cuisine and culture. Measuring 27 inches in height, 18 inches in width, and with a 9-inch opening at the top, its size is as impressive as its age. The jar features a distinct design with a rounded lip at its top and a bulbous center that gracefully tapers towards the bottom, offering an elegant silhouette. Decorative ribbed trim details encircle the body, adding texture and visual interest to the piece. Perhaps the most captivating aspect of this jar is its wonderful old patina and the remnants of paint scattered across its surface, each mark telling a story of its rich history and the hands through which it has passed. This large Turkish vintage olive jar from the 19th century not only embodies the aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship of its era but also serves as a tangible connection to the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of Turkey centuries ago. It's a truly exceptional piece that would add character and history to any space it inhabits.
