A striking example of traditional Hungarian folk pottery, this large hand-thrown terracotta pot carries all the warmth and history of rural village life. Featuring its original double handles, decorative raised beading around the body, and a beautifully aged glaze in rich orange tones, it has the kind of authentic surface patina only decades of use can create.
Historically, pots of this size and shape were used for storing food items such as grains, cooked dishes, or preserved meats. This one shows clear signs of its working past, including wear to the glaze, small losses around the rim, and a historic hole on one side, all fully reflected in the price. These details are characteristic of genuine countryside pottery and contribute to its farmhouse charm.
A wonderful sculptural statement piece for kitchens, shelves, or rustic interiors.
