Antique Glazed Terra Cotta Bean Pot is perfect for adding a homey touch to your decor, both inside and out! Hand-thrown terra cotta clay has been glazed on the top 3/4 of the vessel which allows the bottom portion to "breathe". Such vessels were stored in the basement, usually on an earthen floor, which kept the contents both cool and at a constant temperature. Ideal as a rustic centerpiece! Circa early 1900s Measures 17H x 19 in diameter
