Oil jar - Terracotta

A magnificent handcrafted terracotta storage jar of monumental presence and timeless Mediterranean charm. This exceptional piece, made from natural fired clay and partly glazed on the interior, reflects the enduring artistry of traditional pottery. Its generous proportions and authentic texture evoke the rustic elegance of ancient amphorae once used to store oil, wine, or grain. The vessel’s substantial weight and harmonious silhouette give it a sculptural quality, making it not only a functional object but a true statement piece for any interior or outdoor space. Perfect as a decorative focal point in a garden, terrace, or entrance hall. Each imperfection in the surface adds to its authenticity and character — a genuine mark of handcraftsmanship. The warm, earthy tones of the terracotta capture light beautifully, highlighting its natural patina. Condition: Excellent vintage condition – minor signs of age consistent with handmade terracotta. No cracks or restorations. Material: Terracotta (partly glazed inside) Style: Mediterranean / Rustic Period: 20th century (approx.)
