Offering this lovely antique southern European Tarracota Olive Jar w/ handle. The Terracotta clay with a partial green glaze was common in utilitarian pottery of the region around the turn of the century. It could have been used for storing olives, olive oil, or sometimes for vinegar or wine. The ovoid body with a narrow base and wide shoulder was ideal for storing and pouring liquids. There are many places this jar would compliment your home decor, I’ve included a picture of how I have used a similar one in my home. This jar is in very good condition with one hairline crack area near the top that is difficult to notice, but I have included a separate picture to show it.

Measures 12” tall x 8” diameter widest point x 4” base.

Heavy pot that weighs over 7 lbs.

I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pieces for over 12 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.

Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.

On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.

Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
