This 9th-century Spanish pottery jar exemplifies traditional Mediterranean craftsmanship. Made from terracotta, its robust, utilitarian form features a speckled, weathered texture that reflects its historic use and rustic appeal. A warm ochre glaze cascades over the rim and upper section, adding a touch of color and character while contrasting beautifully with the natural, unglazed lower portion.
The jar is designed with two sturdy handles for functionality and balance, making it ideal for practical use or decorative purposes. Its imperfections, including drips, patina, and wear, enhance its authenticity and charm, telling a story of its utilitarian past.
