Oil Vessel

Then and Now
This terracotta vessel, with remnants of its original whitewash finish, hails from the Mediterranean region, where it was used for storing oil or grain. The peeling layers of whitewash reveal the warm tones of the underlying clay, giving it a strikingly rustic, weathered appearance. Its elongated, tapering form and subtle decorative band around the center reflect the simple yet functional craftsmanship of the time. This piece embodies the practicality and charm of European pottery, making it an ideal decorative accent with a rich historical aesthetic.

Due to the nature of their original intent, expect imperfections in keeping with age. These objects are porous, if using fresh flowers, we suggest inserting a glass hurricane to protect your surface. Dimensions are approximate, with the diameter measured at the widest point.
