Antique Turkish Olive Oil Jars with Brown Drip Glazing
Collected from throughout the Turkish countryside, this beautiful earthen-ware vessel was used 75 to 150 years ago to store grains, olives, oils, and prepared foods. Often buried to preserve their contents at cooler temperatures, olive jars could be found in small Aegean and Mediterranean villages. From the smallest pitcher to the largest oil jar, each is unique in shape, color, and texture. A simple utilitarian object that is appreciated today as folk art. The condition of these jugs varies. Please rely on the image for chips and flakes; none are cracked or repaired.
