Exceptional Pair Of Antique Mediterranean Terracotta Pots w/ Green Glaze 37¾"

This spectacular pair of glazed terracotta jars features an imposing form with an intense green glaze adorned with expressive black drips. Typical of the southern tradition, these pieces display vibrant and spontaneous glazing, giving them an almost volcanic or earthly appearance. The thick drips and overlapping glaze create a tactile and almost pictorial relief. Circa 1940.

Small ear-shaped handles emphasize their Mediterranean roots by echoing the shapes of ancient utilitarian pottery. A simple decoration of thumbprint friezes enhances their rustic charm. Their grand presence is perfect for framing a doorway or staircase, adding a touch of timeless elegance and history.

These jars would make a stunning addition to any space, lending a bold, natural aesthetic. Placed at the entrance of a home or arranged as statement pieces in a garden, they can beautifully complement both traditional and contemporary settings. The rich green tones and textured surface invite both visual and tactile exploration, making them not just functional pieces, but captivating works of art.
