A beautiful example of traditional Hungarian folk pottery, this 21.5 cm tall sour cream jar carries all the charm of everyday rural life. Made from unglazed terracotta with a soft, chalky surface and finished with a light green glazed rim, it shows the natural patina and weathering that only time can create.
Hand-thrown with simple horizontal line decorations, this piece would have originally been used for storing sour cream or other dairy products in village households. Today, it makes a lovely textural accent for a shelf or kitchen vignette, adding warmth and authenticity to any interior.
Age-related markings, small glaze losses to the rim and a surface crack are present, all consistent with genuine antique folk pottery and reflected in the price.
