Tahıl Küpü (Turkish Grain Jar - Large)
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 large scale, aged patina, concentric rings, and limewashed technique, 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.
Odemis, in the İzmir province, is a renowned center for pottery. Traditionally, white urns stored grains and oils, while terracotta urns held butter, milk, and yogurt. Reflecting the town’s agricultural heritage, these pieces were essential in daily life. Today, Odemis ceramics have become coveted heirlooms, adding character and 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.
