{"product_id":"vintage-stone-gray-clay-storage-jar","title":"Vintage Stone Gray Clay Storage Jar","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wide-mouthed jar tapers from full, rounded shoulders to a narrow foot, its gray surface streaked with tan clay and dark vertical drips left by years of use. This vintage gray clay storage jar shows the faint spiral lines of the potter's wheel and a pale ridge circling the shoulder. Jars of this shape were built to hold water, grain and provisions, and the weathered skin is the record of that work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 16 inches wide and nearly 17 inches tall, it is a strong floor piece for an entry, hearth or the corner of a living room. Fill it with flowering branches or dried stems, or let the soft gray and tan tones stand alone beside plaster, linen and pale wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\" diameter x 16.75\"(H), opening 10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weathered gray with tan clay streaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear consistent with age and use, part of its character and historical value.

It has rounded shoulders, a narrow foot and a weathered gray surface with tan streaks. It works as a floor vase for branches or as a sculptural accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How were large clay storage jars made?\u003cbr\u003eA: Potters threw or built the jar in sections, smoothed the walls and fired it at a low temperature without a glaze. The unglazed clay stays slightly porous, which is why surfaces take on streaks and tonal shifts with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What goes well with a weathered gray clay jar?\u003cbr\u003eA: Natural materials such as linen, plaster, stone and pale wood let the soft gray and tan tones stand out. Fill it with blossoming branches for contrast, or set it on a bare floor with nothing inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68102555664621,"sku":"IMG_0176","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_0176_0f86d0b8-3719-4f10-854e-1039cd9cef18.jpg?v=1793294023","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/vintage-stone-gray-clay-storage-jar","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
