Fire-Burnished Terracotta Jar "The Burned Jar" with Lid – Handcrafted Decorative Vase (Size L)

Add an ancestral, tactile touch to your spaces with "The Burned Jar" (Size L).

The slightly rounded silhouette is embellished with two protruding side handles and a decorative lid finished with a pointed knob. Perfect both as a kitchen container for spices or dry foods and as a sculptural element for sideboards and shelves, this smoked terracotta vase blends the charm of vintage craftsmanship with the clean lines of contemporary design.
