| Collected from throughout the Turkish countryside, these beautiful earthen-ware vessels were used 75 to 150 years ago to store grains, olives, oils, and prepared foods. Often buried to preserve their contents at cooler temperatures, they 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. Many come with a seal of antiquity. A simple utilitarian object that is appreciated today as folk art. They make outstanding lamps as well. This two handled olive jar with solid green glaze measures 14 tall and measures 10 1/2" wide from handle to handle. The diameter of the mouth is almost 5". Solid Green Glazed jugs as this one are harder to find than those with simple drip glaze around the mouth of the urn. We have several examples currently listed on our web site and many others currently in stock. | |||||
