An extraordinary fired clay jar from rural Aragon, probably Bajo Aragón or the province of Teruel, dating from the late 19th century. This unique piece stands out not only for its striking formal beauty and natural earthy patina, but also for the moving story imprinted on its body: an ancient repair made with metal staples, a living testament to a time when objects were not discarded, but rather cared for and repaired.
The artisanal "stitching," visible in the upper third, was applied to extend the lifespan of highly valued jars, transforming function into aesthetics. Its truncated cone-shaped silhouette with austere lines and restrained proportions makes it a ceramic sculpture that transcends its original use.
