Description from the seller
Two-handled terracotta vase (or rustic jug), characterized by a bulbous body, a narrow base, a flared rim, and two wide opposing handles that connect from the rim to the shoulder of the vessel. Similar elements belong to the tradition of European and Mediterranean folk and peasant art, often historically used as containers for water, wine, or for storing food (such as olles or small jars). Its surface shows a characteristic patina of time, with signs of wear and traces of cooking or smoke that enhance its rustic Wabi-Sabi aesthetic.
