Recovered in the Cappadocia region, this striking vessel is a beautiful example of early Turkish pottery traditions, likely influenced by the Seljuk or early Ottoman period. Pieces from this era are celebrated for their rich, vibrant glazes and the intricate shaping of their forms, both of which are present here.
 
This jug features a distinctive deep green glaze, applied in the characteristic manner of Anatolian workshops. The colour has softened over time, revealing areas of natural wear that tell its age and journey. The unique multi-part neck and spout shape, along with the hand-pulled handle, reflect traditional functional designs used across rural Turkey for everyday liquids.
 
Historical Turkish pottery of this type was valued not only for utility but also for the skill involved in its creation. The glaze technique, often achieved through copper-based pigments, gives the surface its iconic emerald tone.
A wonderful collector’s piece with genuine character, regional heritage, and craftsmanship that speaks for itself.
