| Can you picture this cute little jug on your counter top filled with wooden spoons? 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 speckled yellowish green drip glaze measures 8 1/2" tall and measures 6" across at its widest point. The diameter of the mouth is almost 4". We have several examples currently listed on our web site and many others currently in stock. | ||||||
