Antique Avanos Vases

Antique terracotta vessels from Avanos, the historic pottery town in Turkey's Cappadocia region, where potters have worked the red clay of the Kızılırmak river for centuries. Hand-thrown with one or two loop handles, rolled rims and painted bands, each carries a soft, sun-washed patina of warm terracotta, chalky whites and traces of old lime. No two are alike. Beautiful grouped along a table, console or shelf, or on their own with branches.
