Vintage Louis IV Pithos | 12 Inch Diameter

A sturdy, wide-mouthed vessel that echoes the utilitarian beauty of ancient storage jars. This clay piece features a hand-thrown silhouette with gentle ribbing and a pair of arched handles that lend a functional, historic character to its design. The exterior is finished in a weathered, earthy grey-brown wash, highlighting the raw texture of the clay. Its generous opening and robust form make it a perfect home for bushy ferns or olive stems, providing a sense of permanence and warmth to any indoor or outdoor space. Traditionally used for wine, grain or food storage, the Louis Vintage Pot collection has been salvaged from the countryside of Northern China. Brought to us in their natural, aged state, each pot holds timeless character and stories that would compliment any vignette. Each piece is hand-selected for its unique patina and authentic age. Because these are vintage items, variations in color depth, surface texture, and minor imperfections are to be expected and celebrate the history of the pot. We recommend using a liner to protect the interior and your flooring surfaces. Opening Diameter: 7.5-9 inches Dimensions: approx. 12-13 x 11 inches
