Large Terracotta Planter

An early 19th-century terracotta vessel, distinguished by its generous proportions, deeply weathered dark patina, and beautifully incised geometric decoration. Bands of hand-carved triangular motifs encircle the vessel, while rows of small impressed details add texture and visual rhythm to its robust form. The surface bears the marks of age and use, creating a richly layered character that only centuries can produce. Originally crafted for the storage of olive oil, this exceptional vessel has been adapted with a drainage hole in the base, making it equally suited as a planter. Whether displayed as a standalone statement piece or planted with foliage, it brings a timeless Mediterranean presence and understated rustic elegance to any interior or garden setting. Dimensions: approximately 60cm wide x 74cm high Please note, all items are vintage and/or second-hand and sold as such. Although we make every effort to highlight major flaws, minor imperfections should be expected as reflective of the age and previous use of the piece.
