Steeped in history and old-world craftsmanship, these Antique Italian Culinary Jars were traditionally used in 19th-century Italy for preserving fish, a testament to the country’s rich culinary and artisanal heritage. While their original lids have been lost to time, the beauty of their craftsmanship remains. Handcrafted from terracotta clay and finished in a warm white glaze, these jars feature a beautifully aged patina, showcasing the passage of time through their weathered surfaces and natural variations in texture.
We love to use them to display fresh herbs, as a vase for flowers or even as a topiary pot. Their sculptural form and rustic charm also make them perfect as decorative statement pieces, whether styled on a rustic console or buffet, in a kitchen, or as part of a curated collection. Each urn carries the marks of its history, offering a rare glimpse into the functional pottery of the past while seamlessly blending into classic, rustic, or Mediterranean-inspired interiors.
