Victorian Mediterranean Olive Oil Jar (Repurposed)
A weathered, two-handled earthenware olive oil jar from the Victorian era, with a soft patina earned through decades of use. Originally made for storing and transporting olive oil, this example was later repurposed as a planter — a neatly drilled hole in the base providing drainage while preserving its graceful form.
Size: approximately 16” tall and 9” wide
Collector’s Note: Authentic oil jars of this age offer both decorative appeal and a tangible link to Mediterranean trade. Repurposed examples retain their charm and versatility, making them a striking choice for gardens, sunrooms, or interior styling
