Description

I will always buy original Spanish olive pots when I can as I honestly believe no other pot can add the same level of quality rustic charm as these. They are hand thrown terracotta, very thick and show signs handsomely of years of use. These pots were usually owned by one family for their entire life and re used constantly. This is why you will see occasionally olive pots that have been stapled as if these broke they were expensive to replace and were often repaired which is a very romantic look back at country life.

This example is one of the repaired examples and looks all the better for it. Stapled on one side with original iron brackets. Neat design with plenty of character.

Height 86cm Diameter 49cm Diameter of opening 30cm

FAQs

Traditional olive jars originated in Spain and the Mediterranean, handcrafted from local clay to ferment, store, and transport olive oil and other agricultural goods.

These vessels are constructed from heavy-fired local terracotta clay, often featuring hand-thrown bodies and historical metal staple repairs used to mend cracks.

Authenticity is indicated by historical metal staples, uneven hand-thrown surfaces, natural weathering, and authentic mineral deposits within the clay body.

Placed in an empty corner or styled on the floor, these large vessels add textural contrast and organic warmth to minimalist or rustic spaces.

Keep the unglazed terracotta dry and clean with a soft brush, and protect it from freezing temperatures if displayed outdoors to prevent cracking.
