Antique Terracotta Oil Jar

An antique terracotta amphora shaped oil jar from the Mediterranean region with twin loop handles and a restricted neck (neck diameter 8"). This amphora has lots of character and could be used as a decorative feature in a garden setting or indoors. There are some areas of shaling caused by frost damage in the past but the jar is still structurally sound. A drainage hole through the base is recommended if it is going to be displayed outdoors in the future.

Probably 19th Century.
