| 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. Remember, these were used and imperfections are expected. Please rely on the image for chips and flakes; none are cracked or repaired. This large urn does have damage to the lip as shown in the enlargements. However, this just adds character to this lovely piece. Insurance is required on this item. It measures 24" tall and is 16" wide at its widest point. Being Sold AS IS. | ||
