  • Nafplio, Greece
  • Late 1800s
  • Heavy pottery with layered glazes
  • Approx. 30cm high
  • Irregular form due to a kiln-side imperfection, enhancing its authenticity and character

A rare piece of history, this antique Greek olive storage vase tells a story of craftsmanship, resilience, and timeless beauty. Hand-formed in Nafplio in the late 19th century, its weight and robust structure once served a vital purpose—preserving the liquid gold of the Mediterranean. Yet, its aesthetic appeal transcends function.

The vase’s surface reveals its journey: a deep brown underglaze, later softened with a chalk-like coat, possibly applied to reflect the sun’s heat. Its subtly distorted shape, likely a result of an unexpected kiln mishap, only enhances its uniqueness—an artifact shaped by both human hands and time itself.

A piece like this is not simply décor; it’s an acquisition. Whether displayed as a sculptural centerpiece or nestled among other fine antiquities, it carries with it the soul of the Old World—unrefined, storied, and undeniably rare.

Discover the unmatched character of this historic vessel and bring a touch of authentic European heritage into your curated collection.

We have named this beautiful jar Canolopulos.

Please choose carefully. Each piece is vintage and artisan made. This means each is different, unperfect, has a history and has signs of its journeys. We cannot accept returns due to imperfections so please check the pictures before buying.

This pot is an olive pot originating from Nafplio, Greece. We found a few of a similar design - probably all belonging to the same batch and used in the same place.

This beautiful pot is about 37cm high and about 26cm wide
