{"product_id":"anatolian-medium-clay-storage-jar-3","title":"Ash-Speckled 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 carries a broad shoulder that falls away in a long, even taper to a small flat foot, a profile that let it stand steady on an uneven floor and be tipped rather than lifted when it came time to empty it. Three shallow lines are cut around the shoulder, the only decoration on the piece and the mark of a potter finishing it by hand as the wheel turned. The dark staining is heaviest at the rim and runs down from there, which is what happens to unglazed clay when what it held soaked into the wall year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kasa Petra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46934084223137,"sku":"KP-0072","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/2346\/9217\/files\/Lokasyon2000pxKare262_9172acf5-5bc0-4525-9687-5d3cedfcfc1b.jpg?v=1787895473","url":"https:\/\/kasapetra.com\/products\/anatolian-medium-clay-storage-jar-3","provider":"Kasa Petra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
