Wabi-Sabi Antique Mediterranean Terracotta Jug – 19th Century Rustic Folk PotteryA soulful wabi-sabi piece of hand-crafted Mediterranean terracotta pottery, dating to the 19th century and originating from Southern Europe—most likely Spain, Portugal, or Italy. These rustic vessels reflect generations of utilitarian use and the honest beauty of traditional craftsmanship.Each jug was hand-thrown from local terracotta clay, with subtle glaze remnants and timeworn surfaces in earthy ochre and reddish-brown tones. Their asymmetry, surface imperfections, and aged character embody the principles of folk art and wabi-sabi design.We offer each jug individually, allowing you to select the one that speaks most to your interior style — whether as a standalone sculptural piece or as part of a larger grouping.Origin: Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal or Italy)Period: 19th centuryMaterial: Hand-thrown terracotta with partial natural glazeCondition: Wear consistent with age and use; minor chips and surface patina enhance the characterLarger double-handled jug:Height: 11.02 in.
