{"product_id":"anatolian-medium-clay-storage-jar-2","title":"Narrow-Necked Turkish Storage Jar, Medium","description":"\u003cp\u003eJars of this size were made across Anatolia for the household store, where molasses, oil and grain were put down in quantity in autumn and drawn on through the year. Terracotta was used because it breathes just enough to keep its contents from souring while its thick walls hold a steady, cool temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis medium jar draws in tight at the shoulder and rises into a tall, narrow neck, the form used for oil and molasses where a small opening kept air away from what was stored. Almost the whole body still carries its lime wash, brushed on to seal the porous clay and keep insects off the store, chipped back in small flecks that show the terracotta beneath. The wash has gone chalky and matte with age, and those bare flecks are the only places the original clay is still visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, its generous scale makes it a striking floor piece, whether left bare or used as a planter. The chalky white surface against worn terracotta brings texture and a sense of age to contemporary and traditional interiors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kasa Petra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46934084157601,"sku":"KP-0073","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/2346\/9217\/files\/Lokasyon2000pxKare258_24a84fc0-7697-4caa-a6a6-ea3ab2c665a9.jpg?v=1787895467","url":"https:\/\/kasapetra.com\/products\/anatolian-medium-clay-storage-jar-2","provider":"Kasa Petra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
