Hand-thrown from earthen terracotta, these large-scale vessels were traditionally used throughout the Greek islands for the storage and preservation of olive oil. Its classic ovoid form and tapered base are designed for both stability and function.
The jar features a striking whitewashed exterior that has weathered beautifully over nearly a century, revealing the warm, natural terracotta tones beneath. It is presented on a robust, custom-forged wrought iron tripod stand, which elevates the piece to a sculptural focal point, perfect for adding an element of rustic elegance to a garden, patio, or interior space.
