These jars feature a richly textured surface with pronounced calcareous encrustations, mineral accretions, and a layered patina developed from exposure to the elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally crafted for the storage and preservation of olive oil or water, each vessel exhibits subtle asymmetries and hand-shaped irregularities that speak to their artisanal origin. The organic curvature of their forms, combined with softly weathered rims and naturally eroded surfaces, creates a sense of quiet monumentality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coloration is particularly compelling—ranging from warm terracotta and sienna undertones to pale sage, ash, and chalky white deposits—offering a depth that only time can produce. These jars function beautifully as standalone sculptural pieces, anchoring both traditional and contemporary interiors, as well as refined garden or courtyard settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir presence evokes the historic landscapes of Southern Europe, making them especially desirable for designers seeking authenticity, texture, and architectural weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDiameter: 22 in \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-depth\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e: 31 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eSold As:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-sold-as\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-setSize\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSet of 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-style\"\u003eSpanish Colonial\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-materials-and-techniques\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-technique\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eTerracota\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-place-of-origin\"\u003eUnknown\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-date-of-manufacture\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-dateOfManufacture\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eLate-19th century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-condition\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-condition\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" data-tn=\"open-condition-modal\" type=\"button\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51045825970482,"sku":"MLA1237","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/f_49528022_1775255748224_bg_processed.jpg?v=1775584070","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/pair-of-antique-mediterranean-terracotta-storage-jars-with-weathered-patina","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
