Large 19th Century Spanish Terracotta Storage Jar with Green Glaze

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This monumental 19th-century Spanish terracotta jar exudes both rustic character and architectural presence. Traditionally used for storing olive oil, grains, or wine, the vessel was hand-thrown from clay and fired in local kilns, reflecting centuries of Mediterranean craftsmanship. The jar’s wide, rounded body tapers gracefully toward the base, while the thick rim is accented with remnants of a deep green glaze that has naturally dripped and weathered over time. The unglazed surface below reveals a beautiful spectrum of earthy tones, from sun-bleached cream to warm terracotta and darker umber, bearing the marks of age, use, and exposure. With its impressive scale and timeworn patina, this piece makes a commanding decorative statement, whether styled indoors as a sculptural focal point or placed in a garden setting.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
