Greek Antiquity Peloponnese Pot | Olive Oil, Water & Wine

A beautiful piece with hundreds of years of patina inspired by the ancient traditions of the Peloponnese, the historic peninsula of southern Greece known for its rich connection to Greek mythology, art, agriculture, and classical civilization.

Vessels like this were an important part of daily life throughout the ancient Mediterranean, used for storing and transporting essentials such as olive oil, wine, and water. Olive oil in particular was deeply woven into Greek life, serving not only as a staple of the Mediterranean diet but also in bathing, religious rituals, lighting, and trade.

The Peloponnese was home to some of the most important sites of ancient Greece, including Olympia, Corinth, and Mycenae, and remains closely associated with the traditions and landscapes that shaped Greek antiquity.

With its earthy character and timeless silhouette, this piece brings a wonderful sense of Mediterranean history into the home. Display it on its own or incorporate it into a collection of pottery, books, and collected objects for an effortlessly storied look.
