Antique Mediterranean Olive Jar in Terracotta, Greece
SU-1570
A beautiful antique olive jar from Greece, hand-thrown in terracotta and dating to the late 19th century. This clay jar features the classic Mediterranean amphora shape with rounded shoulders, small loop handles, and simple horizontal bands that wrap around the body.
Over centuries, the surface has developed a soft, pale patina with natural weathering and mineral deposits that give the piece a lighter, almost sun-washed appearance. These subtle variations add depth and highlight the jar’s age and authentic character.
Wear consistent with age and use. Circa late 19th century, Greece.
