An early 20th-century Anatolian terracotta storage pot from Western Turkey, hand-thrown and traditionally fired, now converted into a sculptural table lamp. This vessel was used for storing olive oil or water, with its rounded upper body and gently tapering base designed for everyday use and stability.
The surface is left largely unglazed, showing a natural terracotta finish with visible throwing lines running horizontally across the body. These subtle ridges, along with small markings and tonal variation, reflect the handmade process and years of use. The clay has developed a soft, even patina, with darker areas formed through firing and age, giving the piece a quiet, understated depth.
Now reworked as a vintage terracotta lamp...
