Edition: One of a Kind
Viewing this
Originally used to store everyday provisions in village homes, traditional terracotta jars from Kayapa, Turkey, were made for practical household storage. Their generous bodies provided space for staples, while the handles made these substantial vessels easier to move and position.
This medium-sized antique jar is distinguished by its hand-notched rim, two upright loop handles and full, rounded body that tapers toward a narrow base. Its deep brown terracotta surface reveals scattered patches of lighter clay, subtle scratches and marks left by years of use. The irregular notching around the opening adds a particularly charming handmade detail.
Today, this one-of-a-kind jar makes a beautiful statement on a console, low table or open shelf. Display it on its own or alongside other antique pottery to bring warmth, texture and a sense of history into the home.

Crazing refers to the fine network of hairline cracks that naturally develops in the glaze of some ceramic pieces over time. It is a common characteristic of many antique and vintage ceramics and often reflects the item's age and authenticity. Unless specifically noted, crazing is generally cosmetic and does not affect the structural integrity of the piece.
