19th Century Mediterranean Green-Glazed Terracotta Jar with Twin Handles

A striking 19th-century Mediterranean terracotta jar, fully enveloped in a lustrous deep green glaze that captures light and shadow with extraordinary depth. Likely crafted in Southern France or Spain, this utilitarian vessel was originally used for storing liquids or grains, now repurposed as a decorative accent with timeless appeal. The elegantly tapered silhouette is flanked by two robust loop handles, lending both visual symmetry and functionality. The green glaze, rich with natural drips and kiln-fired imperfections, flows organically over the terracotta, forming a beautiful contrast with the exposed rim and base. Traces of wear, subtle pitting, and glaze variation enhance its authenticity and character. Ideal as a sculptural piece in minimalist or rustic interiors, this jar brings a sense of history, warmth, and texture to any curated space.
