{"product_id":"double-banded-aydn-storage-jar-5","title":"Verdigris Aydin Olive Jar","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eIn Aydin, western Turkey, large terracotta vessels were traditionally used to store olive oil and other provisions between harvests. This antique jar has a pointed base, a form suited to being supported in earth or sand rather than standing freely on a flat floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this piece remarkable is the blue-green color still visible beneath its weathered, chalky surface. A series of raised, hand-worked clay bands circles the shoulders, while a larger curved design extends down the body. The pale crust has worn away unevenly, revealing patches of turquoise, warm terracotta and darker earthy tones. Its thick, textured rim and traces of old pigment give this one-of-a-kind vessel an especially distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the jar rests on an iron tripod that supports its pointed base. Displayed against a simple wall, its unusual coloring, sculptural proportions and intricate claywork make it a striking statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Kasa Petra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46934076489889,"sku":"KP-00181","price":1790.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/2346\/9217\/files\/Lokasyon2000pxKare202_a8576e63-5378-475a-af32-9369c34f703f.jpg?v=1788075127","url":"https:\/\/kasapetra.com\/products\/double-banded-aydn-storage-jar-5","provider":"Kasa Petra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
