Made for everyday use, these substantial vessels offered the capacity needed to preserve a season's supply in cool storage spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique jar is distinguished by the raised rope-twist bands that encircle its body. Each band was shaped while the clay was still soft, adding texture to the broad, rounded form. A chalky white coating has worn unevenly across the surface, revealing warm honey-colored terracotta beneath. Its thick rolled rim, gently sloping shoulders and narrow base complete a vessel marked by years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it makes a striking floor piece, displayed on its own or styled with tall branches. Its pale surface and rhythmic bands bring warmth, texture and a sense of history to contemporary and traditional interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-Banded Aydin Storage Jar\u003c\/strong\u003e is presented as a decorative jar.
