About the Item
A striking early 20th-century Mediterranean storage jar, hand-thrown from red terracotta clay and fired to reveal its natural tonal shifts of rose, umber, and smoke-grey. Its tall, narrow form and softly tapered base suggest it was once used to store olive oil or grain — a classic utilitarian vessel now admired for its sculptural simplicity.
Fine incised lines circle the neck and shoulder, a subtle mark of its maker’s hand. The unglazed surface carries a gentle, matte patina that has deepened beautifully over time, evoking centuries of Mediterranean craft and rural life. With its graceful height and timeless form, this piece makes a quietly powerful statement styled in entryways, living rooms, or garden rooms — ideal for wabi-sabi, rustic, or minimalist interiors.
