Terracotta Double Handled Amphora Water Jug, Clay Pitcher, Wine Carafe, Home Decor Vase, Pottery Jar, Kitchen Gift

A beautifully darkened, matte exterior over warm Cappadocian fire undertones characterizes the Amphora-style jug. This unique piece is first bisque-fired in a traditional kiln, followed by an open-firing process using local hardwoods under high winds. Our two-step approach allows us to create a diverse range of color gradients and patterns.

The Amphora design has endured throughout history, tracing back centuries to Roman pottery, affirming its timeless beauty and simplicity. The jug's porous nature enables evaporative cooling, with the capillary action causing the liquid inside to remain cooler than the external temperature.

Versatile in its applications, this Amphora-style jug can also serve as a wine decanter. The porous terracotta material allows for natural perspiration, effectively aerating the contents. For optimal aeration, we recommend allowing the wine to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

As an unglazed terracotta piece, this jug is suitable for DIY enthusiasts, offering a plain and smooth surface that can be easily painted, carved, glazed, weathered, distressed, or personalized in countless ways. Its rustic charm makes it a perfect addition to any home decor.

When cleaning this Amphora-style jug, it's important to note that the porous nature of the material may cause cleaning agents to be absorbed during washing. Therefore, we recommend using only water or natural cleaning agents to maintain the jug's integrity.

The jug's dimensions are as follows: Volume - 68 fl oz (2 liters), Height - 10.6 inches (27 cm). Each piece is unique, crafted using primitive methods from scratch, ensuring that slight aesthetic variations are to be expected, adding to the charm of this one-of-a-kind item.
