Rustic Olive Jar

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Andros Antiques
Description

This Rustic Olive Jar has surface detail to admire, in abundance. Being of a good size and form, this Jar could be put to so many uses or indeed be just admired as a vessel in its own right.

The exterior is wonderfully weathered with good patination and shows the remnants of the green glaze further adding decorative value.

One thing to note is a small historical repair to the rim that is shown in the photos, but only really noticeable on close inspection, but adding further charm to the piece as it displays its history of use.

Circa 1900

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Terracotta olive jars were utilitarian storage containers crafted across Mediterranean regions, including France, Spain, and Italy, primarily used for preserving and transporting olive oil, olives, wine, and salted produce.

These vessels were hand-thrown using local porous clay and kiln-fired. Many featured a partial lead glaze applied to the interior neck and rim to prevent liquid seepage while leaving the exterior coarse and natural.

Authentic period pieces exhibit uneven throwing marks, variations in clay density, realistic surface patination from weathering or burial, and traditional hand-finished glaze application near the rim.

Terracotta jars are used as floor-standing sculptural statements, placed beside hearths, styled in entryways, or paired with dried botanical stems to introduce organic texture to modern neutral spaces.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or submersion in water, and protect unglazed pieces from severe frost if displayed outdoors.
