A rustic hand-thrown terracotta amphora with a bulbous body and two loop handles rising from the shoulder to the neck.
The vessel is finished in a rich olive-green glaze, with the raw terracotta clay showing through at the rim and handle edges where the glaze has worn away.
A wavy incised band circles the shoulder, a decorative detail consistent with traditional Mediterranean pottery.
The form and finish suggest it was originally made in the early 20th century and served as a functional storage jar for oil, wine, or water.

The glaze has worn away in areas at the rim and handles, exposing the terracotta body beneath. There is surface scuffing, mineral staining, and small losses to the glaze throughout, all typical of a hand-thrown antique jar that saw regular use. See images for the full condition reference. less
