About the Item

This large küp was used to store grains or olive oil by generations of families in the Levant. Grains were gathered, stored in large clay vessels, and placed in sheds or cisterns, keeping a family’s harvest flavorful and fresh through all seasons. With its limewashed finish and concentric rings, this one-of-a-kind piece is a stunning centerpiece or design anchor in a modern home, inviting antiquity and abundance into gardens, living rooms, hallways and entryways. One of the oldest urban centers of the world, Konya was the capital city of the Anatolian Seljuk Empire from 1060 until 1307. As the Anatolian Seljuks embellished their magnificent structures with colorful ceramic tiles, Konya became an esteemed global hub of ceramics (and remains so today). Rumi, the great 13th century Sufi poet, is buried in Konya. *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.
