About the Item

This large küp was used to store grains 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 large scale, aged patina, and patterned rim, 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. Ödemiş, in the Izmir province, is a renowned center for pottery. Traditionally, white urns stored grains and oils, while terra cotta urns held butter, milk, and yogurt. Reflecting the town’s agricultural heritage, these pieces were essential in daily life. Today, Ödemiş ceramics have become coveted heirlooms, adding antiquity and everyday elegance to modern spaces. Today, the town is known for its rich folklore and vibrant festivals. *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.
