Product details

These jars came from Konya, Turkey, where they stored olive oil, grape molasses, and other cooking liquids for households that needed things to last. The terracotta body and hand-applied glaze were built for utility, but the result is a surface that looks better aged than new.

Each jar is a found vintage piece. The glaze varies in color, texture, and coverage from jar to jar, so what arrives will not be a duplicate of the photograph, but a piece with its own character.

Material: Terracotta
Color: Terra Cotta glaze
Size S approx.: 5" opening x 8.5-9.5" widest point x 9-11" H, $200
Size M approx.: 5.5" opening x 11" widest point x 13.5" H, $250
Size L: $275 (dimensions vary with vintage sourcing)
Each piece varies in size, glaze, and surface character
Available for local pickup in San Diego; not eligible for free shipping
All home goods sales are final

As a standalone object on a shelf, a kitchen counter, or a dining sideboard, these jars carry a presence that modern reproductions rarely match.

FAQs

1. What sizes are available and how much do they cost?

Three sizes are offered: S at $200 (approx. 5" opening, 8.5-9.5" wide, 9-11" H), M at $250 (approx. 5.5" opening, 11" wide, 13.5" H), and L at $275. Exact dimensions vary between found vintage pieces.

2. Will the jar I receive look like the one in the photo?

Not exactly. All found vintage pieces vary in size, glaze color, and surface markings. Each jar carries its own distinct patina and minor variations that are part of what makes it a vintage piece.

3. Can this jar be used for food or liquids?

The product listing does not specify food-safe ratings or current condition for food use. Contact april@forrowan.com for guidance before using it for storage.
