Hand-formed from local clay, its wide spout and generous handles speak to a life once rooted in daily use—specifically for storing walnut oil within a pantry for lighting.

Both functional and decorative, it’s a timeless piece that brings understated character to any setting.

Dimensions: 14" handle to handle x 12.25 inches tall at spout See less
