Vintage Turkish Earthenware Urn with Handles

$450.00

A small Turkish earthenware urn, dating to the mid-20th century. The vessel features a classic amphora-inspired profile with gently rounded shoulders, a narrow base, and modest loop handles. Its pale, lime-washed surface bears layers of wear, chipping, and exposed clay, revealing a richly textured patina developed through years of use.

Such vessels were indispensable in Turkish homes, farms, and monasteries, traditionally used to store olive oil, wine, wheat, and water—objects made to endure daily life.

The urn’s quiet irregularities and weathered finish lend it beautifully to use beside low seating, on a plinth, or anchoring an entryway.

DIMENSIONS: 12"W x 12"D x 17.5"H

ORIGIN: Turkey

PERIOD: 20th Century

MATERIALS: Terracotta

CONDITION: This urn is in great vintage condition overall. The surface shows visible wear, chipping, and areas of exposed clay consistent with age and prolonged use, contributing to its character and patina. Structurally sound.
