Antique Greek Pithari Jar

A hand-thrown Greek pithari, the traditional terracotta storage jar once used to hold olive oil, wine and grain. Generous ovoid body with incised banding, four loop handles at the shoulder and a rolled rim. Years of use have left a soft, weathered patina of earthy greys and warm terracotta, with mineral bloom that gives each jar its own character. A striking sculptural piece for a garden, courtyard or entry.
