19th Century Spanish Terracotta Jar with Green Glaze and Handles

This 19th-century Spanish terracotta jar embodies rustic charm and timeless Mediterranean craftsmanship. Hand-thrown from clay, the vessel is distinguished by its rich green glaze, a color often associated with Spanish country pottery. The glaze covers the jar almost entirely, leaving subtle variations in tone and texture that reveal the artisan’s hand and the kiln’s unique firing effects. Two sturdy side handles frame its gently rounded body, while a slightly flared rim completes the design. Originally intended for storing olive oil, wine, or preserved foods, this utilitarian piece now serves as a striking decorative accent. Its smooth green surface, punctuated with natural imperfections and areas of wear, adds warmth and authenticity, making it ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
